Computational experiment results showing the preservation of spatial surface geometry of the stimulus in interior deformation measures. Under the tip of 0.5 mm radius with 0.1 mm radius fillet, the stress-strain field at SAI afferent end-organ location is uniform at the tip center (0-mm location) and is most concentrated at the tip edge (around 0.5-mm location). A: interior strain and surface deflection over space differ in shape; B: interior SED and surface deflection over space differ in shape; C: interior stress and surface pressure over space are very similar in shape. All traces are generated from simulations using the average skin.
