Biomechanical engineering enables wearers to achieve the highest
level of comfort, fit and interaction from their clothing as they
are designed with the mechanics of the body in mind. This enables
products to be developed that are specifically designed for the
mechanics of their end purpose (e.g. sports bra) as well as the
everyday movement of the body. This is the first book to
systematically describe the techniques of biomechanical engineering
principles, methods, computer simulation, measurements and
applications.

Biomechanical Engineering of Textiles and Clothing addresses issues
of designing and producing textiles and clothing for optimum
interaction and contact with the body. It covers the fundamental
theories, principles and models behind design and engineering for
the human body's biomechanics, contact problems arising between
textiles/clothing and the body and the mechanics of fibers, yarns,
textiles and clothing. Material properties are discussed in
relation to mechanical performance. It also includes coverage of
the Clothing Biomechanical Engineering System developed at The Hong
Kong Polytechnic University and its associated models and
databases. The book concludes with practical examples of clothing
applications to illustrate how to carry out biomechanical
engineering design for specific applications.
