Modeling and analysis of a three-component piezoelectric force sensor
This paper presents a mathematical model for the vibration analysis of a three-component piezoelectric force sensor. The cubic theory of weakly nonlinear electroelasticity is applied to the model for describing the electromechanical coupling effect in the piezoelectric sensing elements which operate in thickness-shear and thickness-stretch vibration modes. Hamilton's principle is used to derive...
متن کاملForce-control at cellular membranes
Force-regulation at cellular membranes relies on dynamic molecular platforms that integrate intra- and extracellular signals to control cell shape and function. To correctly respond to a continuously changing environment, activity of these platforms needs to be tightly controlled in space and time. Over the last few years, curvature-dependent mechano-chemical signal translation—a receptor-indep...
متن کاملCellular response to force application at craniofacial sutures.
OBJECTIVES To provide a comprehensive review of the literature describing research done on the responses of suture cells to force application in vitro and in vivo. DESIGN AND RESULTS This review outlines the types of forces that can be applied, methods of applying the forces, the sutures used in experiments, and the changes in morphology, molecular biology (gene and protein expression), and c...

متن کاملIntracellular Transport: Force Controls Motor Switching at Filament Junctions
How does cellular traffic switch direction on microtubules, or switch back and forth between microtubule- and actin-based tracks? A pair of recent studies mimics the layout of motors and tracks within the cell to provide intriguing answers to these questions.
