Abstract
A system and method for generating a numerical skin model. The skin model may be used to predict the interaction of the skin to various devices, such as shaving devices and absorbent articles, for example. The computer-based numerical skin material model of the simulated skin may comprise a mechanical behavior model of a surface epidermis, a mechanical behavior model of a dermis, a mechanical behavior model of a hypodermis, and a van der Waals hyperelastic formulation to represent the behavior of the simulated skin. A strain stiffening viscoelasticty of the simulated human skin may be determined by a Prony time series expansion.
