...Rui Dan; Yujie Zheng; ZhiQin Liu; Zhen Shi Purpose The inward displacement perpendicular to the body surface produced by compression garment is an important index to evaluate pressure comfort and optimal design of tight clothing products. The purpose of this study is to explore the pressure...

...Rui Dan; Zhen Shi Purpose Objective appraisal of pressure comfort is the key point of optimal designing of clothing. The purpose of this paper is to study a new method to provide pressure comfort for the waist of elastic pantyhose through the relationship between pressure and displacement using...

... The exemplar compression garment is a plain jersey knit maternity band. The compression delivered by this garment was determined via three different methods – Tekscan pressure mapping system, Hohenstein Measurement System (HOSY), and a fabric-based analytical model employing uniaxial fabric tensile data...

...Rui Dan; Xuerong Fan; Zhen Shi; Mei Zhang Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study a new method to appraise pressure comfort through displacement distribution, and then explore the relationship between pressure and stiffness coefficient, and elastic elongation of the top part of men’s...

...Mei Zhang; Henan Dong; Xuerong Fan; Rui Dan Purpose – Objective appraisal of pressure comfort is the basement of optimal design of clothing. The purpose of this paper is to study a new method to appraise pressure comfort through displacement distribution, and then explored the multiple...

...Yongrong Wang; Peihua Zhang; Xunwei Feng; Yuan Yao Purpose The paper aims to develop a system and measuring method for investigating the dynamic pressure behavior of compression garments. Design/methodology/approach The dynamic pressure behavior measurement, realized by use of the self...

...Zvonko Dragcevic; Elzbieta Maklewska; Andrzej Nawrocki; Krzysztof Kowalski; Ewa Andrzejewska; Wojciech Kuzański Purpose This paper aims to describe new measuring device designed for measuring the pressure exerted by textile products used in healing therapy of hypertrophic scars. The testing device...

...J. Fan; A.P. Chan Purpose This paper reports on the development of a method for the prediction of clothing pressure of girdles on the human body. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, we propose to use a standard mannequin dummy to measure the clothing pressure of girdles and from which...

...C.J. Lewis; D.W. Lloyd Purpose The design and construction of a high‐pressure bursting strength tester is described. Design/methodology/approach The tester has a large aperture and is intended to operate with coated industrial fabrics. To ensure safe operation, since the tester is capable...

...Lisa Macintyre; Margot Baird; Phil Weedall Pressure garments have been used prophylactically and to treat hypertrophic scars, resulting from serious burns, since the early 1970s. They are custom‐made from elastic fabrics by commercial producers and occupational therapists. However, no clear...

...Chen Dongsheng; Zhao Qing In order to pursue men's suit wear comfort, the basic data on an accurate men's suit comfort analysis with clothing pressure is required. Therefore, in such investigation, it is difficult to find out ideal persons as test subjects. In the measuring experiments, we used...

...Sau Fun Frency Ng; Chi Leung Patrick Hui Pressure garments are mainly made of elastic Lycra fabrics and tailor‐made to individual patients’ measurements to provide an appropriate amount of skin‐garment interface pressure for burn rehabilitation. However, the fabric tension would be different...
