The fingertip deformation represents the basic mechanical action that shapes human haptic perception. In this work, we present an experimental set up to provide, as proof of the concept, a characterization of human fingertip mechanical properties, in terms of contact area and pressure distribution. Such measures are then correlated with the output of a 3D Finite Element (FE) Model of fingertip developed in order to validate our numerical approach for further investigations.

Abstract
The fingertip deformation represents the basic mechanical action that shapes human haptic perception. In this work, we present an experimental set up to provide, as proof of the concept, a characterization of human fingertip mechanical properties, in terms of contact area and pressure distribution. Such measures are then correlated with the output of a 3D Finite Element (FE) Model of fingertip developed in order to validate our numerical approach for further investigations.File in questo prodotto:
