Abstract :
In this paper, a photoelastic tactile transducer is modelled and analyzed using finite-element analysis (FEA). The effects of both normal and tangential forces are considered. Two different boundary conditions are examined for a transducer whose compliant protective layer has different mechanical properties from the photoelastic layer
