To Gain Idea About Anthropometry
To Know Its Use
To Know About Its Application
4. INTRODUCTION
The word ‘anthropometry’ means
Measurement of the human body.
It is derived from the Greek words ‘anthropos’
(man) and ‘metron’ (measure).
5. TYPES OF ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA
1.
Structural Anthropometric Data
2.
Functional Anthropometric Data
6. 1.STRUCTURAL ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA
Structural anthropometric data are measurements of the
bodily dimensions of subjects in fixed (static) positions.
EXAMPLES
To specify furniture dimensions.
To determine ranges of clothing sizes.
7. 2.FUNCTIONAL ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA
Functional anthropometric data are taken under conditions
in which the body is engaged in some physical activities.
EXAMPLES
Design of crane cabs
Design of vehicle interiors
8. USES OF ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA
To fit the task to the person.
To avoid physical mismatches between dimensions of
equipment and products and the corresponding user.
To design for variability in people and not for the average.
9. APLLYING ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA
1.
Select anthropometric measures that relate to defined
design dimensions.
2.
Pick out the unwanted data.
3.
Combine all selected design values in a careful
drawing, computer model to check their compatibility.
4.
Determine whether one design will fit all users. If
not, several sizes or adjustment must be provided to fit all
users.
10. APPLICATION OF ANTHROPOMETRY IN DESIGN
Some of the applications of anthropometric data are
1.
Determine the body dimensions.
2.
Determine what principle is to be applied.
3.
Defining equipment and facilities.
4.
Space requirements.
11. 1.BODY DIMENSIONS
Minimum dimensions
A door handle must not be lower than the highest standing
knuckle height in a population so that all users can open the
door without stooping.
15. MAXIMUM DIMENSIONS CONT…
Seat heights and depths must not exceed the maximum
height and buttock–knee lengths of small users.
16. 2.PRINCIPLES IN ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA
There are three principles for applying anthropometric data
to specific design problems;
1.
Design For Extreme Individuals
2.
Design For Adjustable Range
3.
Design For The Average
17. 3.EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES
Criteria of judgment of design features of physical
equipment and facilities:
Comfort
work performance
safety, physical effects
Equipment's are of three kinds:
Spaces into which men fit
Tools or controls which men use
Protective clothing and devices
18. 4.SPACES
One of the applications of anthropometric data is the design of
work spaces, including the work-space envelopes.
The limits of the work-space envelope for seated personnel
are determined by functional arm reach, which is influenced by
presence of any restraints
apparel worn
angle of back
20. ANTHROPOMETRIC VARIABLES CONT…
Knee height and thigh depth:
Shoulder width: Hip breadth:
Abdominal/chest depth:
Vertical reach (sitting and standing):
Reach:
21. ADVANTAGES OF ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA
Increase accuracy
Reduce Fatigue
Better comfort
Reduce chance of injuries
Time management
22. CONCLUSION
Anthropometry plays a major role in increasing
productivity of the organization.
Based on the population we have to design the
workspace and equipment's.
According to the level of comfort ability the quality of
the product will get raise.
