논문 초록 (Abstract)
The difficulty in opening and closing the tailgate of sport utility vehicles (SUV) is important as one of the items of JD powers Initial Quality Study (IQS). This study aimed to evaluate the perceived exertion and satisfaction in opening and closing SUV tailgates and explain them with the mechanical force. The study measured the mechanical open and close force for 33 SUV tailgates and evaluated perceived exertion and satisfaction of opening and closing with 84 male participants from 20s to 50s. The regression models of perceived exertion and satisfaction showed that initial closing and opening force, the difference between initial and maximum closing force, and the difference between an initial close angle and auto-fall angle should be small for a positive effect. In addition, the IQS score of tailgates is more related to perceived exertion and satisfaction in closing than those in the opening. The results of the study will be helpful to design and test the mechanical open and close structure of SUV tailgates.
