Example
e.g. the integral joint
mobility of an
astronaut can be
reduced to 20% of
normal in a typical
space suit. The ability
to receive visual and
auditory feedback may
also be compromised
when performance
wear is worn

The ergonomic efficiency of a clothing system can be evaluated

objectively by using specially devised human mechanics and
operational performance tests.

The most important thing in clothing design

The constituent fiber or
yarn properties weave
or knit patterns and
geometry of yarn and
fabric structures, affect
the overall material
properties. Anisotropy,
non- linearity and
hysteresis are some
characteristic features
of textile structures.
