Research on the path of sustainable development of fiber art from the perspective of biomechanics
Abstract
This study explores the sustainable development of fiber art by integrating biomechanical principles, aiming to delineate optimal strategies for enhancing both environmental and mechanical performance. Data were sourced from authoritative databases, including the Art and Design Database (ADD), Biomechanics Research Institute (BRI), International Textile Research Journal (ITRJ), and Craft Council Archive (CCA). The research employed a comprehensive methodology encompassing data collection, preprocessing, statistical analysis, biomechanical modeling, sustainability assessment, and optimization. Regression analysis revealed significant correlations between tensile strength and flexibility across various fiber materials. The sustainability of these materials was evaluated using a multi-criteria decision-making approach, accounting for environmental impact, resource efficiency, and social acceptability. Optimization results demonstrated improved sustainability scores for materials such as bamboo and linen when their biomechanical properties were optimized. Sensitivity analysis validated the robustness of the sustainability model under diverse weighting scenarios. This research offers a holistic framework for artists and designers to produce fiber art that is both environmentally sustainable and mechanically resilient, thereby bridging the gap between art and science.
