In this paper a semi cylindrical fluid filled hyperelastic finger model for soft contact has been developed from the basic principles of mechanics. The deformation parameters namely contact width and radial deflection were calculated for different applied forces. To validate this analytical model, compression tests were conducted on silicone rubber finger specimens . Contact width and radial de...
