This book explains how to improve the validity, reliability, and repeatability of slip resistance assessments amongst a range of shoes, floors, and environments from an engineering metrology viewpoint-covering theoretical and experimental aspects of slip resistance mechanics and mechanisms.
Pedestrian falls resulting from slips or falls are one of the foremost causes of fatal and non-fatal injuries that limit people's functionality. There have been prolonged efforts globally to identify and understand their main causes and reduce their frequency and severity.
This book deals with large volumes of information on tribological characteristics such as friction and wear behaviours of the shoes and floors and their interactive impacts on slip resistance performances. Readers are introduced to theoretical concepts and models and collected evidence on slip resistance properties amongst a range of shoe and floor types and materials under various ambulatory settings. These approaches can be used to develop secure design strategies against fall incidents and provide a great step forward to build safer shoes, floors, and walking/working environments for industries and communities around the world.
Dr. In-Ju Kim is an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management at the College of Engineering from the University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. He earned a Ph.D. degree from the University of Sydney, Australia. After he received a Ph.D. degree, he has worked for broad areas of ergonomics, human factors, industry and occupational safety and health, applied biomechanics, and sports engineering and technology through a number of research and industry projects from Australia, the UK, the USA, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE over the last twenty years. He is an active researcher in the fields of industry and occupational safety, ergonomics/human factors engineering, safety engineering, biomechanics, injury prevention, sports engineering, and rehabilitation science and technology. He has published more than 100 papers in leading journals, books and book chapters, and conference proceedings and served asan editor, an editorial board member, and a guest editor of several journals and books in the disciplinary areas of industrial engineering, safety science and technology, and rehabilitation science and technology.
