Deformation of a Circular Elastic Tube between Two Parallel Bars: Quasi-Analytical Geometrical Ring Models

Figure 11

(a) Modeled and measured as a function of pinching effort . (b) Example of measured (symbols) and stadium model (dashed line) major axis for pincher effort of measured () and peak function approximation (full line) using the local pinching degree associated with plotted in Figure 10(c).
