AB - Fabric thickness and texture directly affect heat and moisture transfer characteristics in the human
body-fabric-environment system, which determine the heat-moisture comfort level of the human body.
Based on the model of steady-state heat and moisture transfer from skin to environment, we put
forward an Inverse Problem of Thickness-texture Determination (IPTTD). Adopting the idea of the
least-squares method, we formulate IPTTD into a function minimization problem. We employ Particle
Swarm Optimization (PSO) method to directly search optimal solution of the objective function. The
results of numerical simulation show the effectiveness of the presented algorithms and validity of the
proposed IPTTD.
