RISParameter Estimation in a Crossbridge Muscle Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Models of muscle crossbridge dynamics have great potential for understanding muscle contraction and having a wide range of application. However, the estimation of many model parameters, most of ...
Robust Strategies for Automated AFM Force Curve Analysis—II: Adhesion-Influenced Indentation of Soft, Elastic Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the first of this two-part discourse on the extraction of elastic properties from atomic force microscopy (AFM) data, a scheme for automating the analysis of force-distance curves was ...
Mechanical Properties of a Reversible, DNA-Crosslinked Polyacrylamide Hydrogel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical properties of a polyacrylamide gel with reversible DNA crosslinks are presented. In this system, three DNA strands replace traditional chemical crosslinkers. In contrast to thermoset ...
Use of Rigid Spherical Inclusions in Young’s Moduli Determination: Application to DNA-Crosslinked Gels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current techniques for measuring the bulk shear or elastic (E) modulus of small samples of soft materials are usually limited by materials handling issues. This paper describes a nondestructive ...
Robust Strategies for Automated AFM Force Curve Analysis—I. Non-adhesive Indentation of Soft, Inhomogeneous Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The atomic force microscope (AFM) has found wide applicability as a nanoindentation tool to measure local elastic properties of soft materials. An automated approach to the processing of AFM ...
