Established ergonomic practices incorporate only limited user data while designing new
handheld products and hand tools. Design of handheld products and their handles relies …

In this study the geometric parameter of the contact length is introduced, which intends to
combine force exertion and perceived handle comfort in an anthropometric length in order to …

In vivo characteristics of palmar soft tissue can be used to improve the accuracy of human
models to explore and simulate a range of contact scenarios. Tissue characteristics can help …

In this study, three individual hand finite element models with different dimensions were
developed to perform grasping simulations. The performance of the three models was …

This article aimed at providing a new biomechanical three-dimensional dynamic finite
element model of the hand–glove combination for exploring the distribution of the overall …

In this study, a grasping motion simulation method based on finite element analysis was
developed for the virtual evaluation of gripping comfort while gripping a cylindrical object …

The interaction between users and handheld products, particularly regarding handle
stiffness, plays a critical role in determining comfort and performance. This study investigates …

Softness perception of human is used to perceive material characteristics of touched surface
and is applied to devices for haptic feedback and robots with tactile perception. However …

The goal is to demonstrate that spherical concave jaws of a parallel gripper induce smaller
indentation displacements and smaller contact pressures to spherical deformable objects …

Among fall-related injuries, scaphoid fracture accounts for 60% of all carpal fractures. Many
of these falls occur during daily life activities and can be avoided by establishing …
