Abstract: Using a tensor virial method of moments, an approximate solution to the relaxed elastic state of embedded ellipsoidal inclusions is presented that incorporates surface∕interface energies. The ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with obtaining stress estimates for the problem of axisymmetric torsion of thin elastic shells of revolution subject to self-equilibrated end loads. The results are ...

Abstract: Of concern is the response induced in a chemically reacting elastic sphere by a spatially uniform applied surface pressure. The analysis, which is carried out in the context of a linearized ...

Abstract: Results from free streamline hydrodynamics are exploited in order to solve optimization problems for antiplane shear deformation, in which the stress concentration is to be minimized. These ...

Abstract: Experimental studies have shown that endothelial cells which have been exposed to shear stress maintain a flattened and elongated shape after detachment. Their mechanical properties, which are ...

Abstract: The viscoelastic deformation of porcine aortic endothelial cells grown under static culture conditions was measured using the micropipette technique. Experiments were conducted both for control ...
