内容記述Data collection on man-induced loads borne by space suits is discussed, with emphasis on the glove area. The distinction between the 'potential' maximum manload (measured according to the 95 percentile male outside the suit), and the actual manload experienced by the suit or 'limit manload', is stressed. Limit manload data for the glove were collected using a glove with finger and metacarpal joints and a hard shell to support strain gages. Potential manload data are theorized to exceed the limit manload (as corroborated by entire suit limit load data presented for the Apollo and Shuttle suits) because of load sharing within the fabric configuration, test inputs being at values other than 95 percentile values, and the restraint line acting like a spring and preventing the load from being induced. This, however, is not borne out by the glove test data, illustrating the difficulty of measuring the man/machine interface. Design load is determined by adding he pressure load and the limit load after compensations have been made for load splitting. Finally, a method for better testing, used in the design of an improved mobility glove for the Space Shuttle program, is presented.
