Inhomogeneous large deformation study of temperature-sensitive hydrogel
In this paper, inhomogeneous deformation of a temperature-sensitive hydrogel has been studied and analyzed under arbitrary geometric and boundary conditions. We present the governing equations and equilibrium conditions of an isothermal process based on the monophase gel field theory of hydrogel via a variational approach. We have adopted and implemented an explicit form of energy for temperatu...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Method for Accurate Strain Distribution Measurement of Cell Substrate Subjected to Large Deformation
Cell mechanical stretching in vitro is a fundamental technique commonly used in cardiovascular mechanobiology research. Accordingly, it is crucial to measure the accurate strain field of cell substrate under different strains. Digital image correlation (DIC) is a widely used measurement technique, which is able to obtain the accurate displacement and strain distribution. However, the traditiona...
متن کاملStrain Measurements within Fiber Boards. Part I: Inhomogeneous Strain Distribution within Medium Density Fiberboards (MDF) Loaded Perpendicularly to the Plane of the Board
Internal bond strength testing is a widely used approach for testing quality traits of wood based panels. Generally, failure of internal bond specimens is due to adhesion and/or wood failure in the specimen. It has been reported that a composite product with a large variation in the vertical density profile fails in the center part of the board which is either the middle of the core layer or th...
متن کاملAdaptively Simulating Inhomogeneous Elastic Deformation
In this paper, we present an adaptive approach for simulating elastic deformation of homogeneous and inhomogeneous objects based on continuum mechanics. In typical adaptive simulation approaches, the deforming elastic object is usually subdivided to form a tree structure on the fly. However, they are not directly applicable for inhomogeneous elastic deformation, since the elasticity matrix, whi...
متن کاملThe role of endothelial cells in the retinal stem and progenitor cell niche within a 3D engineered hydrogel matrix.
Cell-cell interactions are critical to understanding functional tissues. A number of stem cell populations have been shown to receive key regulatory information from endothelial cells (ECs); however, the role of ECs in the retinal stem and progenitor cell (RSPC) niche has been largely unexplored. To gain greater insight into the role of ECs on RSPC fate, a three-dimensional (3D) co-culture mode...
