Cellular contractility and substrate elasticity: a numerical investigation of the actin cytoskeleton and cell adhesion
(Springer Verlag, 2013-06-18)
Numerous experimental studies have established that cells can sense the stiffness of underlying substrates and have quantified the effect of substrate stiffness on stress fibre formation, focal adhesion area, cell traction, ...
Development of life assessment procedures for power plant headers operated under flexible loading scenarios
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2013-12-22)
A finite element methodology for thermo-mechanical fatigue analysis of a subcritical power plant outlet header under realistic loading conditions is presented. The methodology consists of (i) a transient heat transfer ...
