0 plural of phalanx formal or specialized
However, it is necessary to properly choose the transmission ratios between phalanxes.
This mechanism transmits the power to the phalanxes for a human-like grasping motion and it can be embedded in the body of the finger itself.
This compliant plastic object adapts its geometry to the surface of the phalanxes.
In addition, the layout of the fingers on the palm and the phalanxes' dimensions are similar to those of an average-size human hand.
The other phalanxes are actuated by an articulated mechanism that is connected with the previous phalanx.
In the natural hand the proportions of the three finger bones (phalanxes) are only slightly different to each other.
The amplitudes of the flexionextension movement and abduction-adduction movement are identical to those of the mechanical hand, and the lengths of the phalanxes are also respected.
Equations (9) and (10) have been implemented in a numerical simulation in order to compute the velocities and accelerations of the phalanxes during the operation of the designed mechanism.
