In this paper, dynamic responses of male and female palms were investigated. Transient responses when a levitating block collided with the palms were measured. The impact force is measured using Levitation Mass Method (LMM) proposed by Fujii. Then, experimental results using LMM were reproduced by numerical simulation using FEM. In order to reproduce characteristics of palms of living bodies, they are modeled using nonlinear complex restoring force element. This nonlinear complex element is connected to the levitated block modeled with three-dimensional finite elements. The experimental data were compared with those calculated ones using FEM.
