Fig. 3: Mechanics analysis of Continuity Reinforcement Skeleton (CRS).
From: Enhancing haptic continuity in virtual reality using a continuity reinforcement skeleton

a The mechanical model of the CRS contacting with an elastomer. b Schematic of collapse vs. no-collapse. c Force-displacement curves during loading with and without collapse. d Phase diagram of collapsing, where the triangle and circle markers represent experiment result. e A device to demonstrate the continuity reinforcement effect using silicone as a substitute for skin. f CRS’s effect on the Y-direction displacement field in silicone.
