JOURNAL FREE ACCESSClothing pressures were measured in relation to the covered area at the waist for waistnipper and waistband at a reduction rate of 2.5%. A sensory test was carried out on subjects in relation to the clothing pressure. Clothing pressures at the waist line (W. L) for the waistband, for which the area covered at the waist was narrower than that for the waistnipper, were higher than those for the waistnipper in standing position at rest. For rightward bending movement, on the other hand, the pressure at the middle axillary line for the waistnipper was higher than that for the waistband. However, at other regions and for other movements, the pressure for the former was lower than that for the latter. Clothing pressure for waistband at the scapular line and at 3cm outside the posterior median line changed remarkably by respiration as compared to those at other regions. These changes were larger than those for the waistnipper. These results indicated that the pressures at the same reduction rate at the waist changed due to the difference in area covered at the waist, and that respiration and the ability of samples to follow bodily movement affected the clothing pressure. Subjects' evaluations of clothing pressure at W. L during sensory test were as follows: (1) No sense or no discomfort when pressure was 0-15gf/cm2: (2) negligible or only slight discomfort when pressure was 15-25gf/cm2; (3) extreme discomfort when pressure exceeded 25gf/cm2.View full abstractDownload PDF (1340K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAs consumers expect higher quality products in recent years. clothing products corresponding to the individual taste and sensibility are in demand. Especially, for the underwear of a special character which restricts and shapes the body, it is necessary to pay attention to the body shape and characteristics of each consumer. As the basic research for a production technique of individualized underwear, it is attempted to develop a simultaneous measurement system for human body shape and body softness. This system measures the shape and softness automatically by controlling many sliding-gauges with air pressure. The degree and the distribution of softness of a male chest and that of a female were measured and the difference between the male and the female was shown. It is also reported on the measuring apparatus of the character of body compression by the controllable sliding-gauges. The clothing design system based on the physique and body softness will become important from now on.View full abstractDownload PDF (1553K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn order to construct a CAD systm for clothing, body shape information must be obtained by measuring a human body. The silhouette method, a non-contact method, is a relatively easy one to measure the body and gives very little psychological influence on the person who is measured. This method, however, only provides a two-dimensional silhouette. In this report, we propose a method of constructing a three dimensional body model based on a two-dimensional silhouette derived from the silhouette method. The modeling method is summarized as following; (1) Obtain a body skeleton by thinning the silhouette. (2) Obtain skeleton segments by using κ-curvature. (3) Compose three-dimensional parts matching with the silhouette by using hyper-quadratic function. (4) Compose a three-dimensional body model with the parts obtained from (3).View full abstractDownload PDF (986K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA three dimensional model to represent a human body in motion is investigated as a new trial in the design of garments. The body model generated by computer graphics are composed of many elements such as a head, forearms, upper arms, thighs, etc., Dynamic posture of the model is simulated by a method based on the fuzzy inference. The motion of each element is described in terms of the max-min composition of two membership functions which specify the present position and the displacement required for the change from an arbitrary posture to another. This simulation system provides the interactive method to construct the body model which assist in designing garments comfortable not only in motionless posture but also in violent motion.View full abstractDownload PDF (2297K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe difference in visual evaluation on clothes, between apparel specialists (group S) and amateurs (group A) as the judges was investigated by variance, correlation, and regression analysis. The judges evaluated, on photograph, fifty sample clothes worn by fashion models in terms of thirty epithets and five score grades for each to express visual impressions. The main knowledge deduced is as follows: For the category of epithets related to objective judgement, the degree of coincidence in the evaluation scores is higher in group S than in group A, while for the other categories, no significant difference can be found between them; The correlation of scores between S and A groups is significant for eighteen of the thirty words: Group A tends to give scores near the medium evaluation grade, compared with group S; Some epithets may be taken in different meanings respectively by the two judge groups.View full abstractDownload PDF (414K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe sense of handling of nylon knitted fabric for skin-like sheets was evaluated objectively using their mechanical and surface properties. The tested fabrics are composed of knitted fabric for panty hose and a soft film with resin. The samples are different in the knitting type (wooly, shear, and support), resin, and the way of gluing. A translation formula from the characteristic values to the values of sense was derived. The characteristic values of the mechanical and surface properties were measured for each sample with the KES-F (Kawabata Evaluation System for fabrics). The values of sense of the samples were evaluated by 11 ladies. The subjective values given by the translation formula agreed well with the objective ones. The characteristic values of biaxial extension properties were found very dominant.View full abstractDownload PDF (685K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA new sweat capsule was developed, which can accurately detect the local perspiration from a human body with a high response sufficient to follow the rapid and unsteady change. By a contrivance to diminish vapor stagnation in the capsule, the time lag in detection could be decreased to about 0.73 seconds. The experiment was done on two famale subjects in a climate-regulated chamber. The time variation of the perspiration was analysed by the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The results suggest that it behaves like as 1/f-fluctuation for lower frequencies but as 1/f2-fluctuation for higher ones, and that sweating phenomenon can be classified into different kinds by FFT analysis of the data of local perspirating rate measured by the present capsule. The apparatus was also equipped with a microscope and a video camera, by which the sweat droplets on the skin surface were directly observed.View full abstractDownload PDF (214K) -
