Stochastic Loading of a Sitting Human Cover

Abstract

The aim of this paper is the biomechanical evaluation of the interaction between load forces to which a sitting man and the seat are exposed. All loads, which consider actual anthropometry histograms of human population (i.e. segmentation of human weight, height, centroids, gravity and shape of seat) are determined using the direct Monte Carlo Method. All inputs are based on the theory of probability (i.e. random/probabilistic inputs and outputs with respect their variabilities). A simple plane model (i.e. probabilistic normal forces and bending moments) shows a sufficient stochastic/probabilistic evaluation connected with biomechanics, ergonomics, medical engineering (implants, rehabilitation, traumatology, orthopaedics, surgery etc.) or industrial design.
