Abstract: The relationship between garment yoke structure and the shape of human shoulder was discussed from the perspective of human ergonomics. The effects of yoke structure parameters on garment modeling were studied by referring to the parameters of the optimization experiments on slim men’s shirt (175/92A). The results show shoulder shape constrains the yoke structure of slim garment, and the ergonomic evaluation of shoulder modeling is the best when the parameters of yoke structure meet the requirements of shoulder shape.

Key words: human ergonomics; yoke; structure design
