Abstract:

Clothing pressure is an important index in evaluating clothing comfort. This paper, starting from the factors influencing clothing pressure distribution, summarized the primary research methods regarding distribution and prediction of clothing pressure at present, expounded their merits and drawbacks, pointing out that the combination of clothing performance and human body, consummating of three-dimensional body model, and development of a pressure prediction system for dynamic contact between body and clothing is the developing trend in clothing pressure study. Because of the heavy calculation work of existing clothing pressure prediction model, further efforts should be made for practical application. How to build an effective clothing pressure prediction model, combine theoretical model with actual application, reduce cost, and increase efficiency are future direction for clothing pressure study.
