Mechanics of Confined Thin Walled Cylinders Subjected to External Pressure
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)Motivated by practical engineering applications, the present paper examines the mechanical response of thinwalled cylinders surrounded by a rigid or deformable medium, subjected to uniform external pressure. Emphasis is ... -
Discussion of “Cytoskeletal Mechanics Regulating Amoeboid Cell Locomotion†(أپlvarez Gonzأ،lez, B., Bastounis, E., Meili, R., del Alamo, J. C., Firtel, R. A., and Lasheras, J. C., 2014, ASME Appl. Mech. Rev., 66(5), p. 050804)
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)A virtually universal feature of adherent cells is their ability to exert traction forces. To measure these forces, several methods have been developed over the past 15 years. In this issue of Applied Mechanics Reviews, ... -
Cytoskeletal Mechanics Regulating Amoeboid Cell Locomotion
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)Migrating cells exert traction forces when moving. Amoeboid cell migration is a common type of cell migration that appears in many physiological and pathological processes and is performed by a wide variety of cell types. ... -
Nanoscale Fluid Mechanics and Energy Conversion
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)Under nanoconfinement, fluid molecules and ions exhibit radically different configurations, properties, and energetics from those of their bulk counterparts. These unique characteristics of nanoconfined fluids, along with ... -
Closure to “Discussion of â€کNanoscale Fluid Mechanics and Energy Conversion’†(Chen, X., Xu, B., and Liu, L., 2014, ASME Appl. Mech. Rev., 66(5), p. 050803)
