Bra design experiences a long process of development including some key aspects like
material selection, pattern making and grading. The design and development processes are …

A well-fitting bra provides adequate and exceptional support of the breasts and the desirable
body shape for the wearer but would not exert excessive pressure onto the breasts. Among …

The mechanical properties of normal soft tissues, including breast tissue, have been of
interest to the biomedical research community as there are many clinical and industrial …

Time-dependent nonlinear lateral vibrations of plates composed of a hyperelastic matrix and
uniformly/nonuniformly distributed hyperelastic reinforcing inclusions are studied. Since the …

This study presents an advanced dynamic finite element (FE) model of multiple components
of the breast to examine the biomechanical impact of different types of physical activities and …

Compression sports bras are designed to protect the breasts by compressing them against
the chest wall during physical activities. However, scientific analyses of the mechanical …

This study aims to investigate the biomechanical behaviour and the stiffness impact of the
breast internal components during running. To achieve this, a novel nonlinear multi …

In the intimate apparel industry, the evaluation of bra designs has traditionally relied on the
practical experience of designers. The limitations of conventional evaluation methods have …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to predict the effect of bra pad specifications on breast
deformation during jumping using a finite element (FE) method. Breast deformation is a key …

Purpose The breasts are mainly fatty and connective tissues with no muscles that directly
support them, so wearing sports bras is one of the most effective means of alleviating the …
