Article Synopsis
- Manikins have been used for nearly a century to study clothing properties and thermoregulation effects.
- The recent development of the ManikinPC system allows for real-time analysis of human physiological responses using thermal sweating manikins.
- An experimental study compares the physiological effects of three firefighter suit materials against human data and shows the manikin-model system's predictions align closely with actual human responses, though with slightly higher predicted values.
