Course: Statics
Topic: Anthropometry
  Modules
    Cumulative Trauma Disorders/Anthropometry Packet
This packet is intended for use in an introductory Statics course when the concept of force is introduced, but before the concept of moment is introduced. Its centerpiece is a homework design problem in which the students are asked to package twelve small boxes in a way that will minimize the loading on the arms of someone lifting the package. The solution is based on forces exerted by the arms (fingers) on the package when the angles of the arms with the vertical are determined by use of tabulated anthropometric data.

Control and Display Design/Anthropometry
This packet is intended for use in an introductory Statics course when the concept of the moment is introduced. The procedures for extracting data from anthropometric charts dealing with static posture in workstation design are presented. In the homework problem the students compute the moments for five sets of forces (weights) and distances (arm reaches). Although the moments are found to be the same, the effects on shoulder muscle fatigue are different.

The requirements to become a licensed professional engineer are presented. Engineering ethics is defined within the framework of the National Society of Professional Engineers Code of Ethics. A case study is used as the dominant learning tool, focusing on public safety and welfare.

    Pressure Hazards/Pressure Vessels
This packet is intended for presentation in Strength of Materials I shortly after the thin-walled pressure vessel equations are developed. It gives an overview of several concepts that lead to safe design. Specifically, it introduces the students to safety issues in the design of pressure vessels. The ill-fated Comet aircraft debacle is used to introduce fracture mechanics and the importance of considering fracture mechanics concepts, such as fracture toughness, in design. Proof testing, "yield before break", and "leak before break" concepts are discussed. The 1988 Aloha Airplane accident is used to introduce fail-safe design. Because of the "overview level" of discussion, it is ideal for presentation in conjunction with review for an examination or some other period when the students can sit back and absorb concepts instead of focusing on equations.

    Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) Packet
This packet is intended for use in the fourth year mechanical engineering design sequence. The material in this packet should help design teams perform a Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) on their design projects. A PHA is a design tool that helps engineers identify and deal with hazards in the earliest stages of design. By performing a PHA, the students will be more likely to recognize and correct the hazards associated with their designs.

    Ladder Safety Packet
This module has been created for use in a statics course as a case study to show the need for engineers to take a holistic view of their projects, especially where safety is involved. The ladder case study should follow a block of instruction which develops concepts of dry friction. It is ideal for presentation after an examination review when the students can relax without concern for homework requirements. A lecture outline is presented that discusses the basic rules of ladder safety and design. A three part example is also featured.
