New Measuring System of Clothing Pressure Using a Movable Body Dummy for Evaluating of Clothing Comfort
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.23 Vol.23】
For designing comfortable men's suits, the measuring points and pressure levels of men's suit were investigated by using 10 subjects and 15 samples of suit. Furthermore, we made three movable dummies of the upper half body instead of the human body. The validities of these dummies were investigated with the values of the clothing pressure on dummies and subjects on 6 measuring points (shoulder, front and back armscye, scapular, front upper arm, elbow). The results are as follows.
1) There was significant correlation between the total comfort and mobility (p < 0.01). And, total comfort were correlated to the compressive sensation of each part of body on normal standing and flexing upper limbs 90°postures (p < 0.01).
2) The relationship between total comfort and clothing pressure of the back armscye and front upper arm were significant on flexing upper limbs 90°posture. These regression values were r=0.725 and r=0.710, respectively. Moreover, the suit of high total comfort can be obtained with low clothing pressure, and vice versa.
3) The clothing pressure on D2 and D3 of dummies was correlated to the subject's ones of the back armscye and front upper arm on flexing upper limbs 90° postures.
4) The dummy having the approximate compressibility of human body's was better for the dummy of measuring clothing pressure.
