Reference-free traction force microscopy to investigate cell adhesion & mechanotransduction
, 2021 Slater, John H.Physical stimuli present in the extra-cellular domain influence cell-fate decisions. Understanding the mechanisms of these signaling pathways may provide better strategies for guiding cell-fate decisions in clinically relevant cell ...

Low adhesion detection and identification in a railway vehicle system using traction motor behaviour [PDF]
It is important to monitor the wheel-rail friction coefficient in railway vehicles to improve their traction and braking performance as well as to reduce the number of incidents caused by low friction. Model based fault detection and identification (FDI)

Prediction of traction forces of motile cells [PDF]
Interface Focus, 2016 Abstract When crawling on a flat substrate, living cells exert forces on it via adhesive contacts, enabling them to build up tension within their cytoskeleton and to change shape. The measurement of these forces has been made possible by traction force microscopy (TFM), a technique which has allowed us to obtain time-resolved traction

A fuzzy model for an increase in locomotive traction force
Transport, 2010 This paper deals with the process of traction force realization described by a suitable mechanical model and is pointed to the adhesion phenomenon as a physical one, i.e. is a suitable factor that the value of traction force depends on. The model for the

Coupling traction force patterns and actomyosin wave dynamics reveals mechanics of cell motion
Molecular Systems Biology, 2021 Motile cells can use and switch between different modes of migration. Here, we use traction force microscopy and fluorescent labeling of actin and myosin to quantify and correlate traction force patterns and cytoskeletal distributions in Dictyostelium ...

Cellogram: On-the-Fly Traction Force Microscopy [PDF]
Nano Letters, 2019 Traction force microscopy (TFM) derives maps of cell-generated forces, typically in the nanonewton range, transmitted to the extracellular environment upon actuation of complex biological processes. In traditional approaches, force rendering requires a terminal, time-consuming step of cell deadhesion to obtain a reference image. A conceptually opposite

Friction coefficient estimation using an unscented Kalman filter [PDF]
, 2014 The friction coefficient between a railway wheel and rail surface is a crucial factor in maintaining high acceleration and braking performance of railway vehicles; therefore, monitoring this friction coefficient is important.

Boundary controllability and source reconstruction in a viscoelastic string under external traction [PDF]
, 2013 Treatises on vibrations devote large space to study the dynamical behavior of an elastic system subject to known external tractions since usually a ``system'' is part of a chain of mechanisms which disturb the ``system'' for example due to the periodic ...

Traction forces generated by locomoting keratocytes. [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1994 Traction forces produced by moving fibroblasts have been observed as distortions in flexible substrata including wrinkling of thin, silicone rubber films. Traction forces generated by fibroblast lamellae were thought to represent the forces required to move the cell forwards.

Post vs. Post-less Hip Arthroscopy: A Comparison of Traction Force and Patient Specific Parameters
Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2021 Objectives: Hip distraction during arthroscopic surgery has typically utilized a peroneal post, which has known complications; post-less distraction has thus recently gained favor.
