Modeling and analysis of a three-component piezoelectric force sensor
This paper presents a mathematical model for the vibration analysis of a three-component piezoelectric force sensor. The cubic theory of weakly nonlinear electroelasticity is applied to the model for describing the electromechanical coupling effect in the piezoelectric sensing elements which operate in thickness-shear and thickness-stretch vibration modes. Hamilton's principle is used to derive...
متن کاملIs there a cardiodepressant effect of higher BMI on contractile force of skinned human fibers?
Method Therefore we performed a study to examine the influence of BMI (3 groups: group I > 25, group II 25-30, group > 30) on the myocardial performance of skinned muscle fibers. Right atrial tissue preparations of 70 patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass operation (CABG, 48 patients, group a) and aortic valve replacement (AVR, 22 patients, group b) was obtained prior to cannulation and prep...

متن کاملEffect of loading conditions on the dissociation behaviour of catch bond clusters.
Under increasing tensile load, the lifetime of a single catch bond counterintuitively increases up to a maximum and then decreases exponentially like a slip bond. So far, the characteristics of single catch bond dissociation have been extensively studied. However, it remains unclear how a cluster of catch bonds behaves under tensile load. We perform computational analysis on the following model...
متن کاملSphingomyelinase depresses force and calcium sensitivity of the contractile apparatus in mouse diaphragm muscle fibers.
Diseases that result in muscle weakness, e.g., heart failure, are characterized by elevated sphingomyelinase (SMase) activity. In intact muscle, SMase increases oxidants that contribute to diminished muscle force. However, the source of oxidants, specific processes of muscle contraction that are dysfunctional, and biochemical changes underlying the weakness elicited by SMase remain unknown. We ...
