Performance Curves

The standards for vibration in MIL-STD-1472B, Human Engineering Design Criteria for Systems, Equipment, and Facilities, were compared to data from the literature and were found to be inadequate. Families of isodecrement performance curves for tracking performance with various combinations of acceleration and frequency were derived for vertical (z-axis) vibrations. A similar family of isodecrement performance curves was derived for percentage decreases in number-reading accuracy for vertical (z-axis) vibrations. These findings were used to make recommendations for changes to MIL-STD-1472B for predicting and identifying excessive work station environments.

Aircraft cockpits, desktop consoles, and other workspaces have traditionally been designed to accommodate individuals with all anthropometric features (dimensions) within specified percentile ranges (e.g., 5th to 95th). Because of correlations between features, the accommodated proportion of the potential user population (Pa) is not readily apparent or usually determined. Due to the importance of this statistic, however, a wide variety of methods for estimating Pa have been proposed and developed. Cataloging, describing, and comparing methods for calculating the accommodated proportion of potential users is the purpose of this report. This effort is timely, as the proposed “B” revision of MIL-STD-1472 (Human Engineering Design Criteria for Military Systems, Equipment, and Facilities) requires that equipment designed to accommodate 90 percent of a user population on all anthropometric variables.
