— We have investigated the deformation of a soft fingertip when it slides. This process was first simulated using the non-linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. Based on ...

Soft tissue deformation based on tensegric modeling is proposed. This modeling is especially applicable for human females to reform/alter their body shape using tailor-made underg...
This paper presents a needle-tissue interaction model that is a 3D extension of a prior work based on the finite element method. The model is also adapted to accommodate arbitrary ...
