Finite element models to assess static sitting discomfort - Numerical simulations to investigate the modeling options from the literature
Résumé
Seating discomfort thresholds relying on seat pressure variables have been experimentally determined (Mergl 2005). These thresholds combined with pressure outputs from simulations performed with human body models enable to provide seat discomfort prediction. A large number of studies have developed whole body or thighbuttock finite element (FE) models for seating discomfort assessment (Savonnet et al. 2018). However, there is no consensus yet on the modeling options and few models are actually validated. This points to a need to quantify the dispersion and the error in contact pressure results from different existing FE models, in comparison with in vivo experimentations.
