.... These results are consistent with the experimental reports. This work suggests the possible role of slip bonds in cellular reorientation upon cyclic stretch. Biomechanics Computational mechanics Statistical Mechanics Under physiological conditions, cells within blood vessels are subjected...

...Mårten Alkhagen; Staffan Toll A random mass of loose fibers interacting by fiber-fiber contact is considered. As proposed in a previous paper, the elastic response is modeled based on the statistical mechanics of bending and torsion of fiber segments between fiber-fiber contact points. Presently we...

Using the introduced continuum approach and statistical mechanics based models of the chain force-extension behavior together with a transition state model of domain unfolding; a constitutive model for the membrane stress-stretch...
