Microstructurally-based constitutive models of cytoskeletal networks for simulation of the biomechanical response of biological cells

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2008. === Includes bibliographical references (v. 2, p. 335-375). === The elastic and viscoelastic stress-strain behavior of cytoskeletal networks, important to many cellular functions, is modeled via a microstr...
