The course will discuss the 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 fibres, yarns, textiles and clothing. Material properties are discussed in relation to mechanical performance. The course concludes with practical examples of clothing applications to illustrate how to carry out design for specific applications.

本课程将讨论最佳的人体与纺织品的接触互动，以及服装的设计和生产的问题。它涵盖了人体的生物力学，纤维，纱线，纺织品和服装的身体的接触力学问题，及其设计和工程背后的基本理论、原则和模式。课程对材料的性能进行了讨论，特别是有关机械性能。并用结合实际的例子来说明如何针对特定应用进行设计的服装应用。
