Computational human factors tools are often not fully-integrated during the early phases of
product design. Often, conventional ergonomic practices require physical prototypes and …

Embedding ergonomics in the design process is often delayed as it requires building
physical prototypes and human subject data collection. This causes retrofitting or expensive …

In the last 30 years, software technology representation of human beings has increased. So
it is in this context that representations of human beings are understood as those generated …

Human-in-the-loop design framework introduced in this dissertation utilizes Digital Human
Modeling (DHM) to incorporate Human Factors Engineering (HFE) design principles early in …

Proactive ergonomics can improve the overall performance and well-being of the user and
has the potential to improve the product quality and reduce the cost of resources. Application …

Industry 4.0 promises better control of the overall product development process; however,
there is a lack of computational frameworks that can inject human factors engineering …

The process of designing products has changed drastically over the past 20 years, with an
increasing reliance on virtual processes such as computer-aided design (CAD) software …

The effective use of computational modeling and simulation tools early in the design process
is arguably becoming a gold standard for modern product development. Compared to many …

Although there are numerous ergonomics assessment methods available for assessing
safety, comfort, and performance of human-product interactions, there is a lack of …

Human digital modeling can be considered a digital representation of the human inserted
into a simulation or virtual environment to facilitate prediction of safety and/or performance …
