The development of a new artificial model of a finger for assessing transmitted vibrations

Abstract: Prolonged exposure of the hand to tool-induced vibrations is associated with the occurrence of conditions such as vibration white finger. This study involves the development of a new artificial model that approximates both loading and vibration behaviour of the human finger. The layered system uses polypropylene "bones", encased in a cylinder of low modulus, room-temperature curing silicone gel (to replicate subcutaneous tissues), with an outer layer of latex (to replicate the dermis and epidermis). A protocol… Show more

“…The Shore A hardness of the human skin demonstrates a broader spectrum, encompassing the characteristics of the dermis, epidermis, and subcutaneous tissues, contributing to the dynamic nature of the human fingertip. But when considering the fingertip in itself, the soft fat in the subcutaneous tissue below the hypodermis, results in a softer, more gel-like response than even the softer Dragon Skin variant [43,49].…”

“…Complex stiffness is provided using a gel damper consisting of a mixture of two liquids which takes a gel form and remains in between two plates once they mix. The damping and stiffness properties of the gel is set with the mixing ratio of the liquids and dimensions of the gel [55,56]. The gel plate with a mass of 26 gram in the gel acts as the parasitic mass.…”
