Abstract
The mechanics of contact between human hand and the external objects is very important in understanding the response of skin and the underlying tissue during dynamic loading. In the current study, the distal pad of the human nger was modeled to study the response to di fferent loading conditions. Experimental data was obtained by con- ducting indentation, con fined and unconfi ned compression on human cadaver fi ngers. A material model was developed for the finger tissue based on these experiments. Abaqus analysis software was used to study the response of distal pad of human finger during indentation due to a cylindrical indentor.
