The forces of contact between the blade of the scissors and the plate are expressed by a nonlinear function of deflection at the crack front multiplied by the length of the contact region between the blade and the plate. The cutting model captures the combined effect of multiple fracture modes. The level of deflection that causes fracture is obtained using an energy approach. The cutting model predicts that, during fracture, force and torque responses of the scissors depend on the toughness and geometry of the plate, but do not depend on the stiffness of the plate. The model is used for haptic synthesis of interaction between a pair of scissors and a virtual plate. An implementation of the model is presented for the case of surgical scissors in contact with skin. The simulation results are compared to previous experimental data, demonstrating the realism of the cutting model behavior. This haptic rendering technique is computationally efficient and can be applied to real-time simulation.","PeriodicalId":117050,"journal":{"name":"First Joint Eurohaptics Conference and Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems.

Users were shown examples of cofilin combining with actin and asked to reproduce this match. Accuracy of the match and completion time were measured and analyzed in order to quantify the benefits of augmenting tools for such a task.","PeriodicalId":117050,"journal":{"name":"First Joint Eurohaptics Conference and Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems.

In the case of a computer mouse, this problem is solved by lifting the device off the table and repositioning it at a different location. With most ground-based haptic devices such indexing procedure is not possible and requires the use of an additional switch to decouple the device from the cursor and allow the user to relocate the end-effector at the center of the physical workspace. Below certain physical workspace dimensions such indexing methods become cumbersome to the operator and therefore different control paradigms are required. This paper presents a new approach referred to as workspace drift control which progressively relocates the physical workspace of the device mapped inside the virtual environment towards the area of interest of the operator without disturbing his or her perception of the environment. This technique uses the fact that people are greatly influenced by what they perceive visually and often do not notice small deviations of their hand unless that small deviation has a corresponding visual component.","PeriodicalId":117050,"journal":{"name":"First Joint Eurohaptics Conference and Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems.

When pressure is applied to the skin, skin mechanoreceptors convert compressive stress/strain into neural signals. Many attempts to model this conversion neglect intermediate ridges, on the inside of the stiff epidermis. The receptors associated with detecting compressive and shear stresses reside at the tips of these ridges, suggesting a functional importance in the detection of stress. This work considers how underlying microstructure affects the mechanical propagation of stress to receptors. Two unique indenters are applied to two finite element models of idealized, fingerpad skin - one with ridge microstructure. Findings indicate that microstructure produces high, local stress concentrations at ridge tips near receptors. Because stress is focused at ridges beneath edges, there is a higher contrast of stress between ridge tips near the indenter's edge and those adjacent. This lensing effect mechanism appears to help distinguish edges.","PeriodicalId":117050,"journal":{"name":"First Joint Eurohaptics Conference and Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems.
