Abstract (EN)

In this study, an effect of sport shoe on the human foot was observed. With importance ofcarrying human body, takes a great interest for improved engineering analysis. When abiological subject was issued with engineering methods this is called bio engineering and ifthis relates with mechanics this is also called biomechanics.Recently, with the increase of athletes and conscious of making sport, sport shoes has gainedbenefits. The observation and understanding of sport shoe can help design of better and morecomfortable shoes.To answer to these questions, the analysis was made with the help of multi disciplinaryengineering methods Stress distribution of one of the most important parts of human bodywas observed. The question of how much the sole of sport shoes supports the foot wasconsidered with finite element method.The methodology was to process STL format data originating from MR images to constructsurfaces and then meshing to get viscoelastic and hyperelastic model in order to analyze thefoot and shoe interaction.Keywords: Biomechanics, Finite Element Method, Viscoelastic, Hyperelasticxi
