From: Three-Dimensional Finite Element Simulations of the Dynamic Response of a Fingertip to Vibration
J Biomech Eng. 2008;130(5): doi: /
Figure Legend:
The distributions of the vibration displacement (U, mm) in the longitudinal section around the resonant frequencies at the soft tissues of the fingertip. Before being subjected to harmonic vibrations, the fingertip is precompressed to four different precompression levels, i.e., d0=0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm, as shown in (a), (b), (c), and (d), respectively. The resonant frequency of the soft tissues of the fingertip increases with increasing precompression.
