abstract

the theory of contact mechanics deals with stresses and deformations which arise when the surfaces of two solid bodies are brought into contact. in elastic deformation contact occurs over a finite area. a regular method for determining the dimensions of this area is hertz contact model. appearance of atomic force microscope results in introduction of contact mechanics into biology. low elasticity modulus of biologic particles, causes large deformation against foreign forces, therefore to understand them, studying their behavior is essential. here, in studying these particles we have used finite element which is a new tool in biology. in this paper indentation of three prostate cancer cells cl-1, cl-2 and lncap which have low elasticity modulus and are considered ductile materials was conducted using hertz contact mechanics model. for modeling, in this section the contact equations of two spheres were used and simulated by using finite element method (fem). the results of these two steps were compared with available experimental data on these cells to verify simulations and results. these results include force-displacement diagram which shows particles behavior against foreign load. in this presentation we tried to study the behavior of these cells through different methods and make a comparison. using finite element approach in studying characteristics of these particles was new.

Application of Nano-Contact Mechanics Models in Manipulation of Biological Nano-Particle: FE Simulation

Contact mechanics is related to the deformation study of solids that meet each other at one or more points. The physical and mathematical formulation of the problem is established upon the mechanics of materials and continuum mechanics and focuses on computations involving bodies with different characteristics in static or dynamic contact. Contact mechanics gives essential information for the s...

Nanoscale mechanics by tomographic contact resonance atomic force microscopy.

We report on quantifiable depth-dependent contact resonance AFM (CR-AFM) measurements over polystyrene-polypropylene (PS-PP) blends to detail surface and sub-surface features in terms of elastic modulus and mechanical dissipation. The depth-dependences of the measured parameters were analyzed to generate cross-sectional images of tomographic reconstructions. Through a suitable normalization of ...

Simulation of atomic force microscopy operation via three-dimensional finite element modelling.

Numerical modelling of atomic force microscopy cantilever designs and experiments is presented with the aim of exploring friction mechanisms at the microscale. As a starting point for this work, comparisons between finite element (FE) models and previously reported mathematical models for stiffness calibration of cantilevers (beam and V-shaped) are presented and discrepancies highlighted. A col...
