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. The book concludes with practical examples of clothing applications to illustrate how to carry out biomechanical engineering design for specific applications.
