ABSTRACT
Leather materials are widely used in many applications pertaining to fashion, which includes garments, handbags, shoes, belts. Due to cost and availability, synthetic leather has become a popular material for replacement. Human skin is very complex and not easily modeled due to its mechanical behavior just like any other tissue. Every layer in the skin has different mechanical properties. The chapter describes a novel framework for investigating the biomechanical properties of goat leather by integrating experiment-analytical-numerical approaches for sustainability. In physiology needs, synthetics hydrophilic properties, water vapor permeability and absorption still did not fulfill the need of the human foot requirement. It is important to develop the knowledge on leather for human purposes such as in current functions and also for the future. Skin behavior includes inhomogeneous, anisotropy and highly non-linear behaviors. This statement is supported by research which claimed that it is difficult to determine the identification of skin viscoelastic properties due to a large number of parameters.
