Abstract
Hitherto, most clothings have been empirically, designed and produced by garment manufactures. This study aims to produce clothings by a scientiffic method “deductive reasoning” considering what clothings should be from the work design's point of view. For this purpose, the fundamental terms expressing visual impressions have been investigated and free curves have been analyzed by one group of the subjects and attempts have been made to generate clothing figures for women on the basis of these curves.
Another group of the subjects judged whether the figures generated above can be recognized as clothings. Fourier's coefficients were calculated to apply the Fourier's series equation to the figures recognized as clothings. Next, periodogram were figured on the basis of those Fourier's coefficients. Then, it should bc possible to reappear the clothing figures generated above by using dominat periodic components in that periodogram.
The computeaided models thus obained include these coefficients as characteristic values with the equation of Fourier's series. Thus, the method has been developed to produce any clothing figure expressing visual impressions.
