“…In order to develop this evaluation method, human subjective responses (dependent variables) need to be collected and correlated with physical measures (independent variables) from designated sensors. This method is a basic method of quantifying or translating subjective responses to physical measures, and many previous works used this approach [ 5 , 11 , 13 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. One of the extensions of this method is to construct a hierarchy of stages of subjective responses, for example, by classifying subjective responses into two categories, which are sensorial and affective responses [ 21 ].…”

“…These systems’ inputs are integrated and weighted in unique ways that lead to a complex human haptic perception which has a variety of factors at multiple levels of processing [ 8 ]. Previous works can be roughly classified into two categories by looking to the type of samples that are used in the product’s evaluation: (1) works that used samples that were taken from the outer layer of an object [ 5 , 11 ] or cut off small part from the object [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]; and (2) works that used the final end-product as the samples [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. The latter type of sample may help us to include information from both of the two modalities (kinesthetic and cutaneous); not only the surface texture but also the tension, shape, and so on.…”

Tactile sensation is one type of valuable feedback in evaluating a product. Conventionally, sensory evaluation is used to get direct subjective responses from the consumers, in order to improve the product’s quality. However, this method is a time-consuming and costly process. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel tactile evaluation system that can give tactile feedback from a sensor’s output. The main concept of this system is hierarchically layering the tactile sensation, which is inspired by the flow of human perception. The tactile sensation is classified from low-order of tactile sensation (LTS) to high-order of tactile sensation (HTS), and also to preference. Here, LTS will be correlated with physical measures. Furthermore, the physical measures that are used to correlate with LTS are selected based on four main aspects of haptic information (roughness, compliance, coldness, and slipperiness), which are perceived through human tactile sensors. By using statistical analysis, the correlation between each hierarchy was obtained, and the preference was derived in terms of physical measures. A verification test was conducted by using unknown samples to determine the reliability of the system. The results showed that the system developed was capable of estimating preference with an accuracy of approximately 80%.

“…The subjects evaluated the tactile sensation of each sample and immediately wrote their result for each sample on the evaluation sheet provided. A semantic differential method of 7-step evaluation based on the reference [8][9][10] was used. The subjects chose one answer from each of the 16 pairs of evaluation words for tactile sensation for each of the three samples using a mark sheet.…”

Nishijin-ori is a traditional yarn-dyed fabric of the Nishijin district in Kyoto, Japan. Since 1975, the number of Nishijn-ori companies, looms, employees, and total shipments has been shrinking. To generate new demand, a dramatic shift towards delivering value-added fabric products is required. The Nishijin district is renowned for its traditional technique called hikibaku, whereby Japanese washi paper is cut to a thickness of about 0.2 to 0.3 mm, and woven with the yarn in a weft direction. We applied this hikibaku technique to develop a fabric that incorporates cut leather instead of washi paper. The purpose of this study is to clarify the texture and physical properties of the new leather-silk woven hikibaku-leather fabric and demonstrate its advantages to pure cowhide. A questionnaire on tactile sensations was conducted on 26 men and women to determine the perceived texture of the fabric. Physical properties relating to the tactile sensation were then measured and compared with the questionnaire results. In order to obtain a guideline for the direction of future textile development that matches the assumed user's sensibilities, we first verified the correlation between the factor scores extracted from the Kansei (subjective response) evaluation, and the physical properties of the textiles. Next, we discerned the physical properties that should be focused on for each of the extracted factors and clarified the newly developed textile material in the extracted factor space.

“…Tactile sensation can also be investigated by wearable tactile sensors, artificial fingers or subjective sensory tests. 7,10,14,20–24 Considering the number of trials required, the investigation of tactile comfort by trained or untrained participants via sensory tests is more time consuming and difficult when compared to objective measurements, yet subjective evaluation of tactile comfort is quite common and essential for scientific researches.

“…The roughness and the prickle of textile surfaces were evaluated by a panel in two different blind subjective tests and the findings were compared with the objective measurements of surface friction. Kitaguchi and Sukigara 22 suggested two sensory evaluations, comprising a visual evaluation and a visual with tactile evaluation, which were carried out using verbal expressions. It was reported that concepts like “high-grade” and “feels beautiful/fine” were associated with fabric properties such as bending, compression and surface friction.…”

Despite the fact that the tactile comfort of a garment is an important criterion that determines consumers' preferences and has been investigated for almost a century by many researchers, the number of studies regarding tactile comfort of denim fabrics is limited. The aim of this study is to propose suggestions to enhance the tactile comfort of denim fabrics and investigate their efficiency in terms of low-stress mechanical properties and sensory evaluation results. For this purpose, the compressibility, extension ability, bending rigidity and shear rigidity of 51 denim fabrics were experimentally determined. Meanwhile, stiffness–softness, roughness–smoothness and tactile comfort scores were evaluated by consumers and specialists via sensory tests. The effects of the raw material, blend ratio, weaving parameters and washing processes were statistically investigated. Low-stress mechanical properties, particularly biaxial and multiaxial ones, were found to be highly related to the perceived tactile comfort. Statistical investigations highlighted that stone washing is the most effective method to improve the tactile comfort. Nonetheless, the effect of enzyme washing was relatively small. It was observed that the suggested weaving parameters provide a significant improvement in fabric properties. Increasing the ratio of viscose content in polyester/viscose blend weft yarns was quite effective as well.
