...Abhilash Awasthi; Rajneesh Sharma; Rajesh Ghosh A multiscale model for mineralized collagen fibril (MCF) is proposed by taking into account the uncertainties associated with the geometrical properties of the mineral phase and its distribution in the organic matrix. The asymptotic homogenization...

... be written to show the permeability at the pore scale κ α ( r ) : 20 u α ( r ) = − κ α ( r ) G α for α = P , C , E The three equations resulting from the decomposition of the homogenized Stokes equation 15 can be expressed at a given z...

... structure. Such a formulation accounting for the inhomogeneity of the cytoplasm due to stress fibers and actin cortex is developed in this work. The proposed model is developed using the Mori-Tanaka method of homogenization by treating the cell as a fiber-reinforced composite medium satisfying the continuum...

Laurent; Emmanuelle Planus; Daniel Isabey An original homogenization method was used to analyze the nonlinear elastic properties of epithelial cells probed by magnetic twisting cytometry. In this approach, the apparent...
