Female athletes and active women benefit greatly from wearing well-fitting sports bras to provide essential support and control during dynamic movements like running. Understanding how bra components like straps, neckline and underband affect breast motion is crucial for designing sports bras that reduce discomfort and maintain stability. However, evaluating sports bra performance with human participants […]

This study aims to investigate the biomechanical behaviour and the stiffness impact of the breast internal components during running.

With the increasing need for personal protective equipment, textile-silicone composite structures are proposed in this study to reduce acute impact and moisture while enhancing thermal comfort.

The deformation elasticity behaviour of re-entrant auxetic structures with a bow-tie shape, made of silicone elastomer, is systematically analysed for size accommodation and shape conformity, and compared with traditional polyurethane foam and spacer fabric used in bra pads.

We propose an accurate approach to reveal such correspondence based on radial basis functions (RBFs) and a set of sparsely labelled landmarks, with a good post-alignment scheme.

Using 3D scanning, this study examines knee shape deformations across angles from 0° to 90° in 50 Asian males, revealing a 19% vertical and 7% horizontal strain on the patella. Knee circumference increases by 6.4% at the patella, informing knee brace sizing and design improvements.
