This poster presents the preliminary results in using Finite Element Analysis to model the interaction between a human index finger and EVA glove pressure bladder. The results of a study on two fundamental behaviors of the pressure bladder as well as preliminary results on the effect of pressure bladder convolute location on glove performance are presented. This work lays the foundation for continued research into the interaction between the human hand and EVA glove.
