A Finite Element Study of Micropipette Aspiration of Single Cells: Effect of Compressibility

Figure 7

The NHVH FE model results for different values of Prony shear relaxation parameter, , and Prony bulk relaxation parameter, , with different Poisson’s ratios: (a) and (b) . Other parameters were time constant  (s), initial shear modulus  (Pa), and aspiration pressure  (Pa). In this figure, the initial elastic jumps have been removed.
