investigation of effective parameters on the rigidity of light composite diaphragms (psscb) by fem
در این رساله با معرفی سقف های psscb متشکل از ترکیب ورق های فولادی ذوزنقه ای و تخته های سیمانی الیافی به عنوان سقف های پیش ساخته (سازگار با سیستم سازه ای قاب های فولادی سبک) به بررسی پارامترهای موثر بر صلبیت سقف، پرداخته می شود. در تحقیق حاضر ابتدا به مدل سازی دو نمونه سقف آزمایش شده، به روش اجزاء محدود با استفاده از نرم افزار تحلیلی abaqus ver 6.10 پرداخته شده است. نمونه های ساخته شده تحت اعما...
Cell shape and substrate rigidity both regulate cell stiffness.
Cells from many different tissues sense the stiffness and spatial patterning of their microenvironment to modulate their shape and cortical stiffness. It is currently unknown how substrate stiffness, cell shape, and cell stiffness modulate or interact with one another. Here, we use microcontact printing and microfabricated arrays of elastomeric posts to independently and simultaneously control ...
متن کاملEngineering gene expression and protein synthesis by modulation of nuclear shape.
The current understanding of the relationships between cell shape, intracellular forces and signaling, nuclear shape and organization, and gene expression is in its infancy. Here we introduce a method for investigating gene-specific responses in individual cells with controlled nuclear shape and projected area. The shape of the nuclei of primary osteogenic cells were controlled on microfabricat...
متن کاملModulation of macrophage phenotype by cell shape.
Phenotypic polarization of macrophages is regulated by a milieu of cues in the local tissue microenvironment. Although much is known about how soluble factors influence macrophage polarization, relatively little is known about how physical cues present in the extracellular environment might modulate proinflammatory (M1) vs. prohealing (M2) activation. Specifically, the role of cell shape has no...
متن کاملSubstrate Rigidity Deforms and Polarizes Active Gels
We present a continuum model of the coupling between cells and substrate that accounts for some of the observed substrate-stiffness dependence of cell properties. The cell is modeled as an elastic active gel, adapting recently developed continuum theories of active viscoelastic fluids. The coupling to the substrate enters as a boundary condition that relates the cell’s deformation field to loca...
