Lung Mechanics: A Review of Solid Mechanical Elasticity in Lung Parenchyma [PDF]
Journal of Elasticity, 2023 The lung is the main organ of the respiratory system. Its purpose is to facilitate gas exchange (breathing). Mechanically, breathing may be described as the cyclic application of stresses acting upon the lung surface. These forces are offset by prominent stress-bearing components of lung tissue.

Alveolar Tissue Fiber and Surfactant Effects on Lung Mechanics—Model Development and Validation on ARDS and IPF Patients [PDF]
IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2021 Goal: Alveolar compliance is a main determinant of lung airflow. The compliance of the alveoli is a function of their tissue fiber elasticity, fiber volume, and surface tension.

Ventilator-induced lung injury and lung mechanics. [PDF]
Ann Transl Med, 2018 Mechanical ventilation applies physical stresses to the tissues of the lung and thus may give rise to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), particular in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The most dire consequences of VILI result from injury to the blood-gas barrier.
