Automotive Splay

We made people sit in a bunch of seats to figure out how people splayed their legs. we measured both what was the maximum and optimal angles in a range of seats to better understand what is comfortable for sitting.

Blood Flow & Skin Loading


Bulk Tissue Modeling

There are a ton of studies that discuss the specific tissues in the butt. However, what if you want to know how to model the whole butt? We calculated that. Based on the method I developed for applying load to the legs in the venous stasis ulcer project we developed a method using loadcells and motion capture to measure indentation tests on a seated individual. These metrics were used to model a hyper-elastic material of the bulk tissues.
