Mathematic model for curvature radius distribution on lower leg cross-section at top part of men’s socks

摘要

Socks are one of the commonest wear covering the lower leg in daily life. In this experiment, 40 participants are scanned, all 20 to 22 years old college students, to research the distribution of the curvature radius of the cross section of the lower leg. We first obtain the figure of the cross section of lower leg at the top part of socks, 6cm high from the ankle point, by using 3D body scanner (TecMath). And then we can draw a standardized figure of the section, after that, 8 equations describing the curve of the section can be achieved by curve fitting. Finally, we can find the law of distribution of the curvature radius.
