Method Development for Modeling, Designing, and Digital Representation of Outdoor and Protective Clothing
Numerous researchers have focused on wear comfort for humans in the recent past. However, wear comfort is a complex and subjective issue, involving psychological and physiological effects in the form of clothing and the surrounding environment. Clothing, as immediate environment of the body, plays a vital role in achieving human comfort. Therefore, in addition to functional and aesthetic aspects, the interaction between garment design and human body including anatomical, physiological, and psychological requirements must be considered during the design process of comfortable and high quality clothes. The aim of this research work was to develop a 3D simulation process based on geometrical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics, which gives insight into heat management through clothes and microclimate for the production of outdoor and protective clothes.
