Comparison of thermal manikins of male and female body shapes
(2003) 5th International Meeting on Thermal Manikin and Modelling (5I3M)- Abstract
- During Subzero project there were observed some differences between different manikins. In order to study the differences closer complementary measurements were carried out on 2 manikins representing male and female body shapes.
Comparison was carried out based on:
• tight versus loose clothing;
• serial versus parallel calculation model;
• even versus uneven clothing (insulation) distribution;
• effect of donning clothes.
In order to do the comparison and eliminate several uncertainties both manikins were tested at the same lab. The garments with right fit were chosen and the manikins were dressed in a same way. The tests were carried out simultaneously on both manikins at +5 °C and... (More) - During Subzero project there were observed some differences between different manikins.

In order to do the comparison and eliminate several uncertainties both manikins were tested at the same lab. The garments with right fit were chosen and the manikins were dressed in a same way. The tests were carried out simultaneously on both manikins at +5 °C and <0,3 m/s, and the same calculation and data control routine was used.
There were observed differences between female and male manikins depending on body shape and fit. However, the differences laid within the range that was observed within Subzero project and were comparable with differences within manikins of male body shape Manikins behaved differently to clothing adjustments. Tight clothes allowed less difference. The differences were more pronounced when using serial than parallel calculation method. Effect of donning clothes was more pronounced within serial model. Results from serial and parallel models differed more if insulation was unevenly distributed (30 % versus 14 %). (Less)
