Contact mechanics is related to the deformation study of solids that meet each other at one or more points. The physical and mathematical formulation of the problem is established upon the mechanics of materials and continuum mechanics and focuses on computations involving bodies with different characteristics in static or dynamic contact. Contact mechanics gives essential information for the s...

the theory of contact mechanics deals with stresses and deformations which arise when the surfaces of two solid bodies are brought into contact. in elastic deformation contact occurs over a finite area. a regular method for determining the dimensions of this area is hertz contact model. appearance of atomic force microscope results in introduction of contact mechanics into biology. low elastici...

a closed form three-dimensional solution is presented for determination of the local buckling (cell buckling) load of the nanosheets. moreover, an expression is proposed for the effective 2d young’s modulus of the unit cell of the nanosheet. in this regard, a three-dimensional efficient space-frame-like geometrical model with angular and extensional compliances is considered to investigate stab...

the primary cilium which is an organelle in nearly every cell in the vertebrate body extends out of the cell surface like an antenna and is known as cell sensor of mechanical and chemical stimuli. in previous numerical simulations, researchers modeled this organelle as a cantilevered beam attached to the cell surface. in the present study, however, we present a novel model that accommodates for...
