Abstract
In this study, stress contribution of sports spats in running motion was estimated numerically. The fabric of sports spats consists of the fiber which shows anisotropic and hyperelastic characteristics mechanically. Uniaxial monotonic loading tests for 3 types of fabric were conducted to estimate material parameters of anisotropic hyperelastic model. The 3D-CG human simulation was performed by using 3D-CG model to calculate strech of the sports spats. As a result, stress distribution of sports spats in running motion was calculated by performing 3-dimensional stress analysis. 3-dimensional stress analyses for the 3 types of submesh of material A, material B and material C were performed. Therefore, the influence that sports spats gave to body in running motion was clarified.
