Features: This book focuses on the application and new developments of ergonomics in industrial engineering and design, introducing design methods and approaches for implementing a human-centered design philosophy in industrial engineering and design. The book is divided into twelve chapters. Chapter 1: Introduction to Ergonomics, systematically introduces the development process, research fields, and research methods of this discipline; Chapter 2: Anthropometric Data and Its Applications, Chapter 3: Human Body Characteristics, and Chapter 4: Human Work Efficiency comprehensively cover the basic characteristics and operational capabilities of humans; Chapter 5: Workspace Design, Chapter 6: Human Work Environment elaborate on the environmental and spatial elements in human-machine relationships and their roles in human-machine system design; Chapter 7: Human-Machine System Engineering Design, Chapter 8: Visual Information Display Design for Human-Machine Interfaces, Chapter 9: Display and Display Device Design, Chapter 10: Control and Controller Design, and Chapter 11: Manual Tool Design include theories and methods for human-machine information transmission, the rational utilization of human-machine functions, coordination between humans and machines, as well as system design, analysis, and evaluation; Chapter 12: Safety and Accidents introduces the principles of safety physiology and safety psychology in the application of safety ergonomics, accident analysis, and preventive measures. The appendix serves as a reference for engineering design materials. Most chapters include specific case studies and research, with content that is novel and unique. .. This book can be used as a textbook or teaching reference for undergraduate or graduate students in industrial engineering, industrial design, mechanical design, engineering management, and related fields, as well as for industrial engineers, designers, managers, and other engineering professionals. ..
