Uniaxial cell stretching device for live-cell imaging of mechanosensitive cellular functions.
External mechanical stretch plays an important role in regulating cellular behaviors through intracellular mechanosensitive and mechanotransductive machineries such as the F-actin cytoskeleton (CSK) structures and focal adhesions (FAs) anchoring the F-actin CSK to the extracellular environment. Studying the mechanoresponsive behaviors of the F-actin CSK and FAs in response to cell stretch has g...
متن کاملThe nonlinear material properties of liver tissue determined from no-slip uniaxial compression experiments.
The mechanical response of soft tissue is commonly characterized from unconfined uniaxial compression experiments on cylindrical samples. However, friction between the sample and the compression platens is inevitable and hard to quantify. One alternative is to adhere the sample to the platens, which leads to a known no-slip boundary condition, but the resulting nonuniform state of stress in the...
متن کاملMHD Three-Dimensional Stagnation-Point Flow and Heat Transfer of a Nanofluid over a Stretching Sheet
In this study, the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer of stagnation-point flow in a nanofluid was investigated. The Navier–Stokes equations were reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using a similarity transform. The similarity equations were solved for three types of nanoparticles: copper, alumina and titania with water as the base fluid, to inve...
متن کاملFlow of a Williamson Fluid over a Stretching Sheet
In the present article, we have examined the two dimensional flow of Williamson fluid model over a stretching sheet. The governing equations of pseudoplastic Williamson fluid are modelled and then simplified by using similarity transformations and boundary layer approach. The reduced equations are then solved analytically with the help of homotopy analysis method. The physical features of the m...
متن کاملSlip flow of an optically thin radiating non-Gray couple stress fluid past a stretching sheet
This paper addresses the combined effects of couple stresses, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and slip condition on a free convective flow of a couple stress fluid induced by a vertical stretching sheet. The Cogley- Vincenti-Gilles equilibrium model is employed to include the effects of thermal radiation in the study. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a system o...
