  1. 1. On dynamic properties of rubber isolators

    Författare :Mattias Sjöberg; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Rubber isolator; Dynamic stiffness; Nonlinear; Payne effect; Audible frequency; Fractional derivative; Mittag-Leffler function; Thermo-rheologically simple; Neo-Hooke;

    Sammanfattning : This work aims at enhancing the understanding and to provideimproved models of the dynamic behavior of rubber vibrationisolators which are widely used in mechanical systems.Initially, a time domainmodel relating compressions tocomponent forces accounting for preload effects, frequency anddynamic amplitude dependence is presented.

  3. 2. Active cellular forces in variable mechanical microenvironments

    Författare :Adele Khavari; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Traction force; Gradient substrate; Alginate 3D culture; Durotaxis; mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Our bodies are immensely complex structures, with various systems, organs, and processes that are not only biochemically driven, but strongly dependent on physical mechanics.  At the heart of all these processes are cells, which must generate forces to adhere, spread, differentiate, grow, and move.

  4. 3. Mechanical response of cross-linked actin networks

    Författare :Björn Fallqvist; Martin Kroon; Jonas Stålhand; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : The ability to predict the mechanical properties of cells should be seen in the light of the close connection between abnormal cell states and a change in the cell response to stimuli. For example, it has been found that the stiffness of cancer cells is much lower than their healthy counterparts, influencing metastasis and cell migration. LÄS MER

  5. 4. On the mechanics of actin and intermediate filament networks and their contribution to cellular mechanics

    Författare :Björn Fallqvist; Kroon Martin; Peter McHugh; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; actin; cell; mechanical; constitutive; intermediate; continuum; constitutive; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : The mechanical behaviour of cells is essential in ensuring continued physiological function, and deficiencies therein can result in a variety of diseases. Also, altered mechanical response of cells can in certain cases be an indicator of a diseased state, and even actively promoting progression of pathology. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Mechanics of microdamage development and stiffness degradation in fiber composites

    Författare :Johannes Eitzenberger; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polymeric Composite Materials; Polymera konstruktionsmaterial;

    Sammanfattning : Damage in composites reduces its performance and durability and thus its usefulness. The common subject in all papers presented in the licentiate thesis is distributed microdamage, and the materials of interest are a Hemp/Lignin natural composite and glass/carbon fiber reinforced plastics composites.
