Mathematical framework for traction force microscopy

This paper deals with the Traction Force Microscopy (TFM) problem. It consists in obtaining stresses by solving an inverse problem in an elastic medium, from known experimentally measured displacements. In this article, the application is the determination of the stresses exerted by a living cell...
