Deflection Modeling and Curvature Manipulation of a Variable-Stiffness Flexible Needle
To address the need for improving the flexibility of flexible needles, a technique that achieves needle steering by altering the needle’s stiffness is proposed. Needle tip forces were simplified, and a deflection model was then developed based on the Timoshenko beam theory. By combining theory and s...
