“…While pressure measurement systems enable to quantify the force textiles apply on the human body, 3D scans visualize the tissue changes. The ergonomic wearing comfort of men's stockings [1], men's suits [2], bras [3], sportswear [4,5], compression textiles for medical applications [6,7] etc. was examined.…”

Fashion garments sculpt the human body according to the up-to-date style. Foundation garments used to be out of whalebone and stiff materials. Nowadays thin and light shapewear aims to smooth obvious subcutaneous fat. Material, pattern, fit and formability of the body tissue influence the effect of shapewear. Thus, it is not known how much or even if shaping garments effect the body form. Moreover, there is a lack of standardized methods to analyze shaping effects of foundation garments. Up to now research focused two paths to analyze the functionality of shaping garment. First was to quantify the pressure applied, second was to measure the body changes achieved by the products. Governmental funded research project "Shaping Effects" aims to combine and pursue the research approaches. Project term is two years starting from April 2017. Therefore, most of the work is ongoing. The following presents preliminary results. 41 shapewear products were tested with HOSY apparatus to measure pressure gradient. PicoPress device was utilized to determine pressure between garment and manikin or human body respectively. 3D-analysis based on before and after scans was performed to measure changes in body geometry. Two test subjects tested shaping garments so far. Test methods were processed successfully. First results underlined the influence of material properties, body geometry and body tissue on shaping effects.

Comfort is one of the most important factors influencing the performance of apparel such as knitted elastic clothing, woven elastic shirts and elastic velvet fabrics. The compressive behavior of knitted elastic fabric affects the excellence in comfort. This study aimed to investigate the comfort of knitted elastic fabric based on compressive load. For this purpose, fabrics were produced with three different stitch densities (loop sizes), and compressive load tests were applied at three various penetration depths. According to these parameters, 9 fabric samples were prepared. Each sample was tested 30 times; therefore, the total number of examined cases was 270. The compressive load was measured using special designed tools, which were installed on the Instron tensile tester. The effects of penetration depth and loop size on compressive load were evaluated by using the CCD statistical model with four repeats of each experiment. The results indicate that the loop size and penetration depth have significant influence on the compressive load, which is modeled by a third order equation with R2 of 0.999 between applied model and experimental data. Consequently, the comfort could be predicted in terms of loop size and penetration depth. Utilizing this method can help apparel manufactures produce knitted elastic clothing with high comfort, according to the end use of garment.

“…1 Most published research on garment pressure has focused on measuring the pressure directly and evaluating relevant subjective sensations, thereby looking for the range of comfort pressure values. [2][3][4] Momata et al 5 and Toshiyuki 6 have found the pressure comfort range of the top part of socks.…”

Numerical simulation of elastic human body deformation and garment pressure distribution is critical for optimal design of apparel products. This paper reports an analytical study of the relationship between pressure and displacement at the top part of a man’s sock using a finite element method (FEM). Through three-dimensional body scanning, we present a model of the cross-section of the lower leg where the top part of a man’s sock is located. In this study, the human body is regarded as an elastomer and the contact between the lower leg and the top part of the sock is considered to be an elastic contact. The pressure—displacement quadratic equation can be obtained using ANSYS software and fitting curves. Meanwhile, we divide the lower leg cross-section into four equal regions according to angle and the area shrinkage mass of the cross-section of the leg can be calculated, respectively; all these solutions supply a theoretical reference for optimal design of the top part of a man’s sock.
