Abstract
Handhold is one of the important manual mobility aids in extravehicular activity (EVA). This paper is about the method and result of theoretical analysis and experimental tests of handhold cross-sectional dimensions. Ergonomics design indexes and their influential factors were put forward through theoretical analysis. The feasible range of width, thickness, perimeter, and ratio of width and thickness of handhold cross section were obtained through the griping tests in pressed extravehicular mobility unit (EMU). Combining the results of theoretical analysis and experimental tests, the design-referenced value of handhold cross-sectional dimensions for engineering development was put forward finally.
