Fig. 10.23 Normal collision pressure in static position obtained using the presented parameters
of physical and mechanical properties: (A) female prototype and (B) male prototype.

the pressure analysis: forehead middle (FH), ears (ER), top of chin (CH), and front neck
middle (NH), for assessment of cap pressure on head area; front breast points (CF), front
side points on under-breast circumference (UB), and side back points on breast circum-
ference (CF), for assessment of pressure in chest area, which is also one of the most
important areas considering its effect on breathing; front side points on waist circum-
ference (WF), frontmost prominent points on maximum belly circumference (MB),
front side points on hips circumference (HS), and points on gluteus (GF), for assessment
of pressure on the belly and pelvic area; and points on wrists (WR) and inner ankles
(IA), for assessment of pressure on limbs, which are also very important critical areas
where it is possible for water to enter the suit, Fig. 10.24.
Results of pressure measurement of computer garment prototypes on female and
male static body models in defined measuring points are shown in Table 10.2.
