RISA Tensegrity Structure With Buckling Compression Elements: Application to Cell Mechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A tensegrity structure composed of six slender struts interconnected with 24 linearly elastic cables is used as a model of cell deformability. Struts are allowed to buckle under compression and ...
A Tensegrity Model of the Cytoskeleton in Spread and Round Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Measurements on adherent cells have shown that spreading affects their mechanics. Highly spread cells are stiffer than less spread cells. The stiffness increases approximately linearly with ...
