Living cells behave as fluid-filled sponges

Submitted by emadmoeen on Mon, 01/14/2013 - 18:34

Animal cells behave like fluid-filled sponges in response to being mechanically deformed according to new research published in Nature Materials.

Scientists from the London Centre for Nanotechnology at UCL have shown that animal cells behave according to the theory of ‘poroelasticity’ when mechanically stimulated in a way similar to that experienced in organs within the body. The results indicate that the rate of cell deformation in response to mechanical stress is limited by how quickly water can redistribute within the cell interior.

Could someone explain me what do the curvature tensor mean at surface structures?

THX for the help!

References for failure / damage modeling

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 01/13/2013 - 19:47

Hi,

I would like to know about the possible references for the modeling of failure /damage of materials in a finite element analysis software. Kindly suggest like books or research articles which illustrates the modelling.

thanks

EPFM on Abaqus

Good mourning, is it possible to perform an analysis within the framework of an elasto-plastic fracture mechanic on abaqus, and if it is the case could anyone give a guidelines for that, thank you
