How can we optimize a bedridden patient s mattress? How can we
make a passenger seat on a long distance flight or ride more
comfortable? What qualities should a runner s shoes have? To
objectively address such questions using engineering and scientific
methods, adequate virtual human body models for use in computer
simulation of loading scenarios are required. The authors have
developed a novel method incorporating subject studies, magnetic
resonance imaging, 3D-CAD-reconstruction, continuum mechanics,
material theory and the finite element method. The focus is laid
upon the mechanical "in vivo"-characterization of human soft
tissue, which is indispensable for simulating its mechanical
interaction with, for example, medical bedding or automotive and
airplane seating systems. Using the examples of arbitrary body
support systems, the presented approach provides visual insight
into simulated internal mechanical body tissue stress and strain,
with the goal of biomechanical optimization of body support
systems. This book is intended for engineers, manufacturers and
physicians and also provides students with guidance in solving
problems related to support system optimization.
