A Multiscale Mechanical Model for Plant Tissue Stiffness
Plant petioles and stems are hierarchical cellular structures, displaying structural features defined at multiple length scales. The current work focuses on the multi-scale modelling of plant tissue, considering two orders of structural hierarchy, cell wall and tissue. The stiffness of plant tissue is largely governed by the geometry of the tissue cells, the composition of the cell wall and the...

متن کاملMultiscale modeling of viscoelastic plant tissue
We present a multiscale method for the simulation of large viscoelastic deformations and show its applicability to biological tissue such as plant tissue. At the microscopic level we use a particle method to model the geometrical structure and basic properties of individual cells. The cell fluid, modeled as a viscoelastic fluid by means of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is enclosed in an...
متن کاملA mechanical model for adjustable passive stiffness in rabbit detrusor.
Strips of rabbit detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) exhibit adjustable passive stiffness characterized by strain softening: a loss of stiffness on stretch to a new length distinct from viscoelastic behavior. At the molecular level, strain softening appears to be caused by cross-link breakage and is essentially irreversible when DSM is maintained under passive conditions (i.e., when cross bridges are ...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Model for Stiffness Coefficients in V-Shaped Cantilevers
During past decade the AFM based nanomanipulation has been focus of attention as the promising nano fabrication approach. The main challenge in this process is the real-time monitoring. Consequently, the dynamic models have been proposed as a solution to the existing challenge. In the modeling approach the magnitudes of the forces are proportional to the stiffness coefficients o...
