Research Abstract

A sweating thermal manikin seems to be a useful tool for the assessment of thermal comfort properties of clothing systems. It gives results which are accurate, unbiased and mutually comparable. Using a sweating manikin also saves time and money, and it is simpler than using live subjects. The manikins which have been developed and are in currently use, however, do not sufficiently approximate the thermal characteristics of the human skin. The purpose of this study is to develop a movable sweating thermal manikin the same size as an average Japanese woman whose skin temperature and perspiration can be precisely controlled.
In the first year, the precision of the controlling system for skin temperature using digital temperature controllers and for sweating rate from the manikin's surface using a cartridge-type tube pump were examined and material simulating human skin was investigated. A sweating thermal manikin of an infant's hip region which has been manufactured as a result of the above basic examination successfully evaluated both dry and evaporative heat resistance of several kinds of disposable paper diapers which are widely available on the Japanese market.
In the second year, the structure of the manikin's joints and the way of moving the joints using electric sliders with linear motion controllers were investigated. The effect of movement on clothing performance was examined by using a partial manikin of an infant's foot simulating walking.
In the final year, the above results were integrated and a movable sweating thermal manikin of size of an average Japanese woman was manufactured. As the number of controllers and motors was restricted, duo to budgetary restraints, a fully functional version of the manikin is still in the offing.
