Abstract
This study presents an evaluation method for human fatigue in virtual maintenance simulation based on the cube model which concluded that human fatigue can be decided by posture, force and time during the operations. This paper analyses the feasibility on applying the cube model to the virtual maintain simulation for human fatigue evaluation. According to the analysis, a new posture level determination method in virtual maintenance simulation is put forward based on the advantage that virtual human’s data of joints can be acquired in real time. Besides the theory deduction, this paper also provides a practical example of virtual maintenance to show the feasibility of the evaluation method.
