Abstract

This final year project entitled "Ergonomic Improvement Design of Shock Mitigating Boat Seat for Yacht Cabin". The aim of this project is to improve the ergonomics design of the shock mitigating boat seat so that it will reduce captain injuries. After finished to design by SOLIDWORKS, the next step is made the posture analysis to test the design is ergonomic or not for the human posture using by CATIA. Analysis by using RULA analysis involved distance seat with steering, seat dimensions and distance front seat with rear seat. The method is computerized solution using CATIA and the analysis based on colour rating. After finishes analyze the design, the RULA score that collected from the analysis results shows that the existing design of shock mitigating boat seat still lacks of ergonomics aspects for four posture. The new design for first posture is more good ergonomic because the space larges of the seats give the human more comfortable. RULA analysis seat for second posture based on the driver position. The new design for second posture is hand of human cannot reach the steering with comfortable when have the distance maintained between human bodies, it will has a maximum length seat to steering. For the new design for third posture has a shape at captain spine for support the trunk and neck. The new design for the last posture concept a captain can control the steering by one hand and other hand to support on hand grip part.
