Technology : Clothing Trade

Biomechanical engineering of textiles and clothing addresses the issues of designing and producing textiles and clothing for optimum interaction with the body. It covers fundamental theories, principles and models behind design and engineering for the body’s biomechanics. Contact problems arising between textiles/clothing and the body are discussed along with the mechanics of fibres, yarns, textiles and clothing. Material properties are also covered in relation to mechanical performance. more...

Clothing biosensory engineering is a systematic and integrative way of translating consumers’ biological and sensory responses and psychological feelings and preferences about clothing into the perceptual elements of design. It is a link between scientific experimentation and commercial application to develop economic solutions to practical technical problems. This book quantifies the decision-making processes through which physics, mathematics, neurophysiological and engineering techniques are applied to optimally convert resources to meet various sensory requirements. It includes theoretical and experimental observations, computer simulations, test methods and examples of actual product development. more...
