Proceedings of the Munich Symposium on Lightweight Design 2024
Frugal Engineering
In view of increasing socio-economic and ecological challenges, Timo Achtelik sheds a critical light on the ongoing incremental optimization of existing innovations, which can lead to a state of "over-engineering". As part of a multi-year action research project in the context of automotive materials development, it is investigated whether and how reduction-oriented innovation approaches such as "frugal engineering" can have an entrepreneurial impact. The findings demonstrate how frugality can be successfully integrated into existing development processes to create more sustainable and efficient innovations. This presents a crucial opportunity for companies to maintain and strengthen their competitiveness in the global market.

Training and Simulation
Developing training and simulation is a complex business. From understanding human performance design, usability and the limitations of training types to considerations with virtual reality (VR), producing realistic scenarios and even helping accident investigations leaves the practitioner with almost an overwhelming challenge. However, they know that their goal is to cut out developing methods that can train and test the sharp-end professional to be ready for any eventuality whether in the air, a chemical plant or the operating room. Through chapters written by leading experts, this book aims to address the key questions and concerns when developing training and simulation in high-risk industries.This book identifies unexplored challenges and weaknesses in the aviation domain, including ground-based training and flight simulation compared to the real world of in-flight complex aircraft operations, aviation accidents and incidents, airspace and air traffic control, aeronautical communications, air navigation, aircraft automation, and pilot certification and testing.These concerns are not just relevant to aviation, however. This book pushes beyond aviation to include other fields, including petrochemical and medicine, that, while on the surface are different, include some of the same human and organizational challenges.It integrates machine challenges with human factors science and includes a view of the corporate influences on training. Safety is a consideration in all the challenges and current limitations in training and simulation, and the book is written with the intention of improving both training and safety as industries deal with more and more complex advanced technology.Underpinned by case studies and real-life examples, this book will give the reader a thorough overview of the limitations of current training methods but with a view to improving and developing better methods for future training scenarios. Opportunities and solutions are presented for current or future research and the application and incorporation of these in day-day operations.Training and Simulation: Processes, Challenges and Solutions will appeal to practitioners of human factors, training, pilots and ground operators, engineers involved in systems design, safety specialists, test evaluators, and accident investigators across multiple domains.

Anthropometry
Today, human factors and ergonomics professionals worldwide contribute to the design and evaluation of tasks, jobs, products, environments, and systems in order to make them compatible with the needs, abilities, and limitations of people. By understanding anthropometry, professionals can ensure that our home and working environments are comfortable and designed with the human in mind. This book aims to show how an understanding of anthropometrics can influence workspace design, ergonomics in the office, ergonomics in the home, and health and safety at work.This book discusses the measurement of the human body and human variability. Anthropometry may seem to be relatively simple but the reality is that it focuses on very sophisticated aspects of how to make the products tailor-made to suit specific requirements. As a study, it is useful for a variety of purposes such as workspace design, ergonomics in the office, ergonomics in the home, and health and safety at work. These eleven chapters investigate anthropometrics and bridge the gap between theory and practice. Each chapter is supported by tables, charts, and illustrations, and a wide list of bibliographic references. The reader will develop new insights into the principles and practice of anthropometrics with this book bringing the topic right up to date.Anthropometry: Human Body Measurements and How to Use Them will be of interest to students, graduates, teachers, researchers, and general workers in industrial design, ergonomics, rehabilitation, safety, and health.
