Abstract
To develope a quantitative measurement of clothing pressure, the validity of theoretical calculation was investigated on the uniaxial tensile deformation. In experiment, some cylindrical models were used which had various radius and compressive property simulating the human body. The validity of theoretical calculation was investigated by stress-strain curves of clothing materials which had measured by those cylinder models and tension tester. The results show that stress-strain curves of clothing materials determined by the cylinder model of hard compressive property agreed well with those determined by a tension tester. By contrast, a high agreement is found between the stress-strain curve by a tension tester and those determined by low compressive cylinder model which does not decrease its radius regardless of increased stress of the tension.
