Thermophysiological Simulation of Human Body-Clothing-Environment System - Muhammad Awais Kartoniert (TB)

The human body interacts with the changing environmentand tries to maintain its body core temperature within anarrow temperature range of 37 ± 0.5 °C. The transfer of heatand moisture between the human body and its surroundingenvironment depends on many factors e.g. environmentalconditions the activity level of the human body and clothingcharacteristics. Among these factors clothing properties arethe only one that can be managed according to their end use.Since clothing acts as an interface and barrier it has a greatinfluence on the thermal transmission between the humanbody and the envi ronment which is in turn essential for highwear comfort. This work proposes innovative simulationtechniques to generate a comprehensive solution for evaluatingthe thermophysiological parameters of the human body aswell as the thermal comfort of different textile materials. Thissimulation considers the mechanical and thermal propertiesof clothing which both have a great influence on fit andnonuniformair gaps between clothing and human body. Thissimulation process offers a fast intelligent and qualitativedesign solution for sectors involving outdoor work andsafety clothing as well as sportswear which is required in thisrapidly developing and advanced technological era.
