Stability of adhesion clusters under constant force.
We solve the stochastic equations for a cluster of parallel bonds with shared constant loading, rebinding, and the completely dissociated state as an absorbing boundary. In the small force regime, cluster lifetime grows only logarithmically with bond number for weak rebinding, but exponentially for strong rebinding. Therefore rebinding is essential to ensure physiological lifetimes. The number ...
متن کاملStability of adhesion clusters and cell reorientation under lateral cyclic tension.
This work is motivated by experimental observations that cells on stretched substrate exhibit different responses to static and dynamic loads. A model of focal adhesion that can consider the mechanics of stress fiber, adhesion bonds, and substrate was developed at the molecular level by treating the focal adhesion as an adhesion cluster. The stability of the cluster under dynamic load was studi...
متن کاملStrength of adhesion clusters under shared linear loading.
A cluster of N ligand-receptor pairs between two parallel surfaces under an applied force F=Γt with a constant loading rate Γ is considered. Our theoretical and numerical studies show that there is a characteristic force f(c) and a characteristic loading rate Γ(c). At Γ<Γ(c), the mean rupture force F(r) of the cluster is close to but lower than Nf(c). In this regime, cluster dissociation can be...
متن کاملStability Analysis for Compliant Constant-Force Compression Mechanisms
Stability analysis in compliant mechanism (CM) design is of utmost importance. From a practical point of view, a CM that is unstable is of no significance (has no practical value). Three useful plots were considered in the evaluation of each of the dynamic models of nine configurations of compliant constant-force compression mechanisms (CCFCMs) for their stability characteristics, which include...
متن کاملDynamic Stability of Step Beam Carrying Concentrated Masses under Follower Force
This paper investigates the dynamical behavior of an assembled beam like structure with tip masses modeling a two stage space rocket structure. The beam like structure is composed of two beams connected together carrying two masses at the free ends to model the payload, and the stabilizing fins mass properties. The effect of non-homogeneity of the structure due to different cross section proper...
