Investigation of mechanical responses to the tactile perception of surfaces with different textures using the finite element method

Tactile perception is essential for humans to perceive the world, and it usually results in mechanical responses from the finger. In this study, a nonlinear, viscoelastic, and multilayered finite element model of the finger was developed. The relationship between the mechanical responses within the...
