TY - JOUR T1 - A Computational Bioengineering System for Thermal Functional Design of Textile Products AU - Lijing Wang JO - Journal of Fiber Bioengineering and Informatics VL - 2 SP - 107 EP - 116 PY - 2008 DA - 2008/01 SN - 1 DO - http://doi.org/10.3993/jfbi09200804 UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jfbi/5030.html KW - textile thermal bioengineering KW - life-oriented design KW - thermal performance KW - computation KW - CAD AB - Textile thermal bioengineering design involves the integration of multidisciplinary knowledge. Utilizing computer power and popularity to realize it creates a huge potential in designing clothing with advanced functions in an effective, economical and scientific way. This paper presents a virtual thermal bioengineering system for life-oriented design of textile products, which, by the combination of multidisciplinary knowledge, creates a virtual space for the designer to achieve textile bioengineering design in a life-oriented way. The thermal bioengineering framework and design principles of thermal functional clothing are shown, the development of the computer-aid system including the life-oriented design, simulation, visualization and project management, as well as the engineering database, is reported with case illustration.
