Mechanical Deformation Analysis of a Flexible Finger in Terms of an Improved ANCF Plate Element

In recent years, flexible continuum robots have been substantially developed. Absolute nodal coordinates formulation (ANCF) gives a feasible path for simulating the behavior of flexible robots. However, the model of finger-shaped robots is often regarded as a cylinder and characterized by a beam ele...
