The present invention provides an apparatus and method for simulating the thermal and perspiratory properties of human skin. The present invention provides an apparatus capable of being formed into any anthropometric form to emulate the thermal and perspiratory properties of an equivalent human part. The apparatus generally comprises thermally controlled, contoured, skeletal structure, typically made of metal, which can be split into any number of individually heated zones. The skeletal structure is covered with a correspondingly contoured soft synthetic polymer skin, incorporating any number of sweat zones, which is adhered to the skeletal structure. Each sweat zone is comprised of a reservoir of artificial perspiration embedded into the reverse of the skin punctured with wicking threads leading to the surface of the skin. Each sweating zone is individually dosed using a controllable pump, and a network of valves direct the sweat flow.

La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé pour simuler les propriétés thermiques et sudatoires de la peau humaine. La présente invention concerne un appareil pouvant recevoir une quelconque forme anthropométrique afin de reproduire les propriétés thermiques et sudatoires dune partie humaine équivalente. Lappareil comprend en général une structure squelettique profilée à contrôle thermique, faite généralement en métal, qui peut être divisée en un certain nombre de zones chauffées individuellement. La structure squelettique est recouverte dune peau polymère synthétique souple au profil correspondant, intégrant un certain nombre de zones de transpiration, qui est mise à adhérer sur la structure squelettique. Chaque zone de transpiration est composée dun réservoir de transpiration artificielle inclus au verso de la peau perforée, des fils mèches conduisant à la surface de la peau. Chaque zone de transpiration reçoit individuellement une dose à laide dune pompe pouvant être commandée, et un réseau de soupapes dirige l'écoulement de transpiration.
