A hybrid model of suspended animal cell proposed earlier, with a bendo-tensegrity structure mimicking cytoskeleton, is applied to simulate the global response of the cell [...]

For computational modelling of arterial tissues anisotropic constitutive models are preferred for which knowledge on orientation of fibres (principal material directions) [...]

The tensegrity framework consists of both compression members (struts) and tensile members (cables) in a specific topology stabilized by induced prestress. Tensegrity pla [...]

The paper presents an example of stress-strain analysis in vascular anastomoses. A computational model (based on finite element system ANSYS) of surgical connection betwe [...]

It is well known that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play important role not only in vascular tone but also in arterial remodelling, healing and growth. Determinati [...]

Mechanical stimuli represent a very important factor influencing cellular processes and functions. The knowledge about mechanical properties of cells is necessary for und [...]

The paper deals with problems related to computational modelling of stress-strain states in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Problems of their structure, geometry, co [...]
