Evaluation and optimization of footwear comfort parameters using finite element analysis and a discrete optimization algorithm

Footwear is subject to bending and torsion deformations that affect comfort perception. Following review of Finite Element Analysis studies of sole rigidity and comfort, a three-dimensional, linear multi-material finite element sole model for quasi-static bending and torsion simulation, overcoming b...
