Modeling the Local Viscoelastic Behavior of Living Cells Under Nanoindentation Tests

Abstract Aiming at multiscale numerical investigations of fibrous connective tissues, the present work proposes a finite strain viscoelastic model suitable to represent the local mechanical response of living cells in conjunction with finite element simulations of nanoindentation tests. The material...
