Introduction

In this task, I will develop model functions representing the tolerance of human beings to G-force over time.

In general, humans have a greater tolerance to forward acceleration than backward acceleration, since blood vessels in the retina appear more sensitive in the latter direction.

As we all know, the large acceleration is, the shorter time people can bear. Using the data shown in the task and Mat lab analysis, we can get several model functions to represent the tolerance of human beings to G-force over time. Then the model functions are improved through further investigation. The validation result shows that the models represented are efficient for the tolerance of human beings to G-force over time.

Problem formulation

To define appropriate variables and parameters, and identify any constraints for the data and use technology plot the data points on a graph. Comment on any apparent trends shown in the graph. Find function to model the behavior of the graph and explain the reason to choose the function. Create an equation to fit the graph. On new set axes, draw the model function and the function of the original data points. Comment on any differences and revise the model if necessary. Discuss the implications of the model in terms of G-force acting on human beings. Use technology to find another function to model the data. On a new set of axes, draw the model function and comment on the differences. Then, check whether the first model fits the new data. Make any changes to the model if it is needed. Discuss the limitation of the model and implication in terms of G-force.

Solving problem

Define the variables and parameters, we choose t as the time human beings could tolerant and g as the acceleration. The constraints of data are as follows:

Because t must be a positive number, when g is positive number it means a forward acceleration, if g is a negative number, it represent a backward acceleration.

Using Mat lab, we plot

    For the control conditions all subjects walked at a speed of 1.0 m/s. After subjects completed each of the control conditions, they walked at a self-selected speed with the AirCast Boot on at all slopes (7 subjects walked at 1.0 m/s, 1 subject walked at 0.9 m/s). All subjects were given a brief resting period between trials to minimize fatigue. Each of the locked ankle trials were collected after each subject was given an appropriate amount of time to acclimate to walking with the boot on (30 - 45 seconds). We focused on two main outcome measures: fore-aft GRFs and center of mass (COM) power. Because we did not collect motion capture data, we were not able to look at kinematics.…

    Under these conditions I believe that the results shown in the distance vs. time graph will have a curve showing increasing speed or in other words, increasing velocity over time. Therefore, the results shown in the velocity vs. time graph will have a positive linear slope. The acceleration vs. time graph will then have no slope and just a straight line because the change of velocity is relatively constant. In conclusion, when the mass of the weight increases, the acceleration won’t and only the speed and velocity over time will change.…

    All the participants identified as right handedness and the researcher explained the concept of manual dexterity and body posture and in what posture they should be during performing the task by showing the picture of body postures mentioned. No sugar consumption at least 1 hour before the experiment and not fasting for participants on that day. The participants will be divided into three categories of postures which fifteen participants need to stand upright, fifteen participants need to sit on a chair and another fifteen participants need to stand bent at the waist. Furthermore, the participants were asked to maintain the posture for 30 seconds before proceeding with the grooved pegboard test for the first time. The time is measured for inserting of all pegs (insertion time) and the researcher were removed of all the pegs. There should be a 30 second gap for the insertion time where the participants can take a rest or change their body posture for a while before proceeding next trial. Besides that, the researcher were also counting the number of any pegs dropped during the task. The insertion trials were done in 12 trials for each task and participants. Besides that, after the 4th, 8th and 12th trial, the participants were asked to rate the following statements which were ‘that was easy’, ‘that was painful’, and ‘I was…
