Development of a Movable Soft Manikin of the Lower Part of the Human Body

为了开发评价服装合适性的下半身软人，研究了人体表面软组织的信息、制作人体的材料和基本技术以及人体表面服装压力的显示系统。研究结果如下：(1)测定了皮下脂肪分布和压缩特性。(2)聚苯乙烯热塑性弹性体的压缩性能与皮肤表面最接近。(3)建立了基于人体三维数据的包括骨骼和肌肉在内的软体人体模型的制作流程。(4)在PC机上显示了几种服装在软人身上的压力分布，验证了系统的有效性。(5)提出了下一步需要解决的问题，特别是节点的施工问题。

In order to develop a soft manikin of the lower part of the body to evaluate the fit of a garment, information on the soft tissue over the human body, the materials and the basic techniques for making the body and the display system of clothing pressure over the body's surface was studied. The results are as follows : (1) The subcutaneous fat distribution and the compression properties were determined. (2) The compression properties of polystyrene thermoplastic elastomer were most similar to those of the skin's surface. (3) The process of manufacturing the soft body manikin including bone and muscle from 3-D data of human bodies was established. (4) Clothing pressure distribution of several garments on the soft manikin was displayed on a PC and the effectiveness of the system was verified. (5) The problems to be solved in the next step, especially on the construction of the joints, were abstracted.
