The inherent proportionality of the human body has been accepted since ancient times. Moreover, it has been assumed that anthropometric dimensions could be validly predicted by ratios or multipliers of another dimension (usually stature). Stature-based anthropometric multipliers from Drillis and Contini's (1966) Body Segment Parameters have been frequently referenced, even though their study focused on body segment mass properties rather than anthropometric dimension prediction. Using the electronic data from the U.S. Army 1987-1988 anthropometric survey (Gordon et al., 1989), we explored the prediction validity of stature-based anthropometric multipliers, and investigated the potential for improved validity by correcting multipliers for gender and race. This paper discusses selected findings for one (i.e. acromial height) of the ten anthropometric dimensions we studied within the white male demographic group, and compares these representative findings with selected results from the other anthropometric dimensions studied. Overall, practitioners should exercise caution when using anthropometric multipliers to predict, as these multipliers are subject to problems in predicting individual anthropometric variations and their predictions are susceptible to systematic percentile-placement errors. Although caution is required when employing stature-based multipliers, the most valid predictions result from using stature-based multipliers that are corrected for gender and racial demographic variables.

To ensure wheel body of the hoisting sheave strength and stability condition. For the purpose of wheel body lightweighting. There are two schemes to reduce body weight.Reduce the spokes at the same time increase the ring stiffened plate, and reduce the spokes at the same time change the spokes width and thickness.The wheel body was established based on Pro/E 3D geometric model. Import the mesh in the Workbench of ANSYS software for finite element model. Statics analysis to select the optimized scheme. Establish a hoisting sheave wheel body under the actual working condition of widening the width - deformation - wheel weight relational table. Analysis to lightweight at the same time ensure that stiffness of wheel,then it can obtaine the optimal result.

A tool that predicts the trajectories of linked human body segments on the basis of their inertial properties could be useful in the analysis of fall accidents. In order to be of value in forensic applications, relevant attributes of both the plaintiff and accident site must be modeled at some requisite level of fidelity. By systematically varying different attributes of the model, e.g., avatar posture, body segment velocity, coefficient-of-friction between modeled treads and footwear, it is possible to examine the likely consequences on body-segment trajectories. Trajectories and collisions can then be compared with patterns of injury, plaintiff testimony, and witness accounts.

Frame has important effects on the performance of the whole of heavy semi-trailer. A heavy semi-trailer frame is analyzed and researched on in the finite-element way in this article. The frame of 3D geometric model is established by using Pro/E. And it was imported into the Hypermesh to establish frame finite element model. Frame are calculated by using ANSYS solver in bending condition, emergency braking conditions and rapid turn conditions of stress and deformation conditions. The computational tools and methods we used provide the new type of frame and development with a reference method to refer to in this paper.
