Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we have developed a digital human model for simulating the interaction between the human body and wearable equipment. We first establish a body surface deformation model that uses a three-dimensional shape database, which is a key to achieve accurate contact modeling. Wearable equipment is modeled by a mass spring model. We estimated the pressure distribution of the body surface in contact with wearable equipment. As a result, the estimated pressure distribution and actual measurement were roughly equivalent.
