| Research Abstract |
This research aims at establishing tribology of soft tissues, which governs sliding motion among soft tissues. It is required to model physical interaction among soft tissues and incorporate it into soft tissue modeling. Firstly, we proposed two methods to detect sliding motion: one using fabric sensors and another applying image processing techniques to successive tactile images. Next, we proposed beam bundle model to formulate sliding motion of a soft tissues. Additionally, we proposed a method to describe deformation of non-homogeneous soft tissues based on finite element approach and a method that identifies deformation properties in the model. Finally, we proposed a microscopic model of sliding motion along micro textures.
