Sensor Diaphragm Under Initial Tension: Linear Analysis

-In this paper, we present recent efforts conducted to investigate the dynamic behavior of a sensor diaphragm under initial tension. A comprehensive mechanics model based on a plate with in-plane tension is presented and analyzed to examine the transition from plate behavior to membrane behavior. It is shown that for certain tension parameter values, it is appropriate to model the diaphragm as ...

Chromatin Fiber Dynamics under Tension and Torsion

Genetic and epigenetic information in eukaryotic cells is carried on chromosomes, basically consisting of large compact supercoiled chromatin fibers. Micromanipulations have recently led to great advances in the knowledge of the complex mechanisms underlying the regulation of DNA transaction events by nucleosome and chromatin structural changes. Indeed, magnetic and optical tweezers have allowe...

Dynamics of Enzyme Digestion of a Single Elastic Fiber Under Tension: An Anisotropic Diffusion Model

We study the enzymatic degradation of an elastic fiber under tension using an anisotropic randomwalk model, coupled with binding-unbinding reactions that weaken the fiber. The fiber is represented by a chain of elastic springs in series, surrounded by two layers of sites along which enzyme molecules can diffuse. Through numerical simulations we show that the fiber stiffness decreases exponentia...

Sensor diaphragm under initial tension: Nonlinear responses and design implications

In this article, recent investigations into the dynamic behavior of a pressure-sensor diaphragm under initial tension are presented. A comprehensive mechanics model based on a plate with in-plane tension is presented and linear analysis is carried out to examine the transition from plate behavior to membrane behavior. It is shown that, for certain tension parameter values, it is appropriate to ...
