Viscoelasticity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a critical part in controlling cell behavior. However, the structure-related viscoelasticity of the synthetic ECM and its mechanism are rarely reported.

In this paper, we develop a theory for viscoelastic behavior of large membrane deformations and apply the analysis to the relaxation of projections produced by small micropipette aspiration of red cell discocytes. We show that this relaxation is dominated by the membrane viscosity and that the cytoplasmic and extracellular fluid flow have negligible ...

Viscoelasticity, Like Forces, Plays a Role in Mechanotransduction
Viscoelasticity and its alteration in time and space has turned out to act as a key element in fundamental biological processes in living systems, such as morphogenesis and motility.

We use a differential constitutive equation to model the flow of a viscoelastic flow in a cross-slot geometry, which is known to exhibit bistability above a critical flow rate. The novelty lies in two asymmetric modifications to the geometry, which causes a change in the bifurcation diagram such that one of the stable solutions becomes disconnected ...

In geotechnical engineering, vertical drainage is the most economical method for accelerating the consolidation of a large area of soft ground. In this study, we analyze the viscoelasticity of the soil and the actual drainage conditions on the top ...

Viscoelasticity Measurement and Identification of Viscoelastic Parametric Models
Generally speaking, the behaviour of viscoelastic material is more complicated than the behaviour proposed by classical models as Voigt, Maxwell or Zener. The stiffness of such materials is a frequency dependent complex function. Above 1000Hz, classical measurements techniques are unable to achieve accurate measurements of the stiffness. In this paper,
