Where τ is the shear stress magnitude, γ the shear rate magnitude, and τ c, k, and n the positive parameters. Clearly here τ c is an empirical yield stress. Other models can be used (see the review of ...

Shear flow dynamics in blood rheology is a critical area of research that investigates how varying flow stresses affect the deformation, aggregation, and distribution of blood cells. At its core ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water sloshes around inside the cells that make up organs ...

This video is an introduction to shear force and bending moment diagrams. What are Shear Forces and Bending Moments? Shear forces and bending moments are resultants which are used to conveniently ...

Shear flow systems offer powerful insights into cell behavior, revealing what static assays often miss. By simulating in vivo conditions, this approach helps uncover crucial biological details in ...

This study introduces a valuable spring-bead model for epithelial cell layers, designed to improve previous cell-resolved approaches and to understand the connection between the biophysics of ...

The effect of shear flow on isothermal crystallization behavior of γ-crystals in metallocene-based isotactic polypropylene melt was investigated by in situ synchrotron wide-angle X-ray diffraction ...

In recent decades, inertial microfluidic devices have been widely used for cell separation. However, these techniques inevitably exert mechanical stresses, causing cell damage and death during the ...
