Stiffness of Skin: Simulation vs. Experimental Comparison

  • Project was active from September 2016 - May 2017
  • Compared the value of stiffness of skin obtained through simulations using the Static Structural Module of ANSYS to the experimental values obtained through repeated iterations of the experiment on multiple individuals and highlight the reliability of the simulations.
  • Modeled the different layers of the skin to improve the simulations, upon consultation with dermatologists 
  • The experimental data was in 10% agreement with simulation data. 
  • Published in STM Journal - Trends in Mechanical Engineering & Technology
