The model, consisting of a three-layer fabric, a single air gap and a double-layer skin structure, is derived based on Darcy's law and the Bernoulli equation for airflow. The existence of weak solutions to the resulting nonlinear PDE system is mathematically proved via the Galerkin approximation, energy estimates, and compactness arguments. Uniqueness is established using the classical energy method combined with Grönwall's inequality. Numerical simulations are performed with a mixed explicit-implicit finite difference scheme, and Henriques' burn integral is employed to evaluate skin burn injury and predict the longest safe working time. The numerical simulation results indicate that burn injury increases with higher wind velocities and meanwhile decreases with greater perspiration rates when the parameters are chosen from engineering applications.

It should be emphasized that a special switching sequence and switching-impulsive signals are designed for the systems. First, by using the max-separable Lyapunov function method and introducing an impulse strength parameter, we establish several new sufficient stability criteria. Second, we derive a new relation between the average dwell-time parameter and the impulse strength parameter, and analyze the case of different impulse strength parameters. Then, based on the comparison principle, we apply the obtained stability criteria to time-varying switched impulsive homogeneous nonlinear systems, which are not restricted to being positive, and this holds for both the main systems and the subsystems.

A detailed convergence analysis confirms the quadratic rate of convergence under suitable conditions. Several examples are provided to illustrate the applicability and accuracy of the QPIM. Numerical comparisons revealed that QPIM achieved higher accuracy with fewer iterations. Furthermore, the QPIM provides monotonic sequences of approximations, enabling pointwise upper and lower bounds for solutions, which is especially useful for problems with unique solutions.
