Description
Engineering Physiology, 5th Edition (PDF) is an essential resource designed to equip engineers, supervisors, designers, managers, and planners with crucial physiological insights necessary for creating work environments and equipment that are tailored to human needs. This updated edition features a comprehensive review of chapters, along with refreshed tables and figures. New discussions delve into innovative topics, including human body models that offer practical design information, the impact of shift work and sleep deprivation on performance and mood, detailed biomechanics outlining bodily capabilities and constraints, as well as cutting-edge techniques for measuring body dimensions and applying this data effectively.
It is important to note that this ebook does not aim to replace traditional biological-medical-chemical textbooks focused on human physiology; rather, it serves as a vital companion, highlighting key aspects of human features and functions integral to ergonomics and human factors engineering—terms that are often used interchangeably. This resource fosters collaborative efforts among engineers, physiologists, physicians, and biologists, thus paving the way for multidisciplinary teamwork.
The scope of bioengineering discussed within this book encompasses a variety of topics, including tissues and bones, biochemical reactions, neural connectivity, biosensors, bio- and anthromechanics, information perception, and more. This multifaceted understanding lays the foundation for the development of work tasks, tools, vehicles, work-rest schedules, living spaces, and designed environments, as well as optimizing human-machine systems. Ultimately, it aims to enhance the efficiency, safety, and comfort of human endeavors in various settings.
NOTE: This product includes only the ebook version of Engineering Physiology, 5th Edition in PDF format. Please be aware that no access codes are provided with this edition.
