The interaction between lower leg and the top part of socks is an important factor affecting wearing comfort. This paper reports on a study of the pressure of the top part of men’s socks using a finite element method. Through 3D body scanning, a biomechanical lower leg cross-section simulation model consisting of skin, bones and soft tissues are constructed for simulating elastic contact between the human body and the top part of men’s socks. In this study, the human body is regarded as an elastomer and the contact between lower leg and the top part of sock is elastic contact, the displacement distribution tendency can be obtained using ANSYS software. In this research work, we discuss in detail the relationship between pressure and material properties of the top part of socks; the properties include elastic coefficient of top part of socks, Poisson’s ratio, elastic elongation and width of top part of socks. The mathematical model of pressure is obtained which describes the relationship between pressure and the physical properties of the top part of men’s socks though principal component regression. All these solutions supply a theory basis for forecasting of the clothing pressure.
