INFLUENCE OF MECHANICAL STIMULI ON SCHWANN CELL BIOLOGY

Influence of Mechanical Stimuli on Schwann Cell Biology

Schwann cells are the glial cells of the peripheral nervous system (PNS).They insulate axons by forming a specialized extension of plasma membrane called the myelin sheath.The formation of myelin is essential for the rapid saltatory propagation of action potentials and to maintain the integrity of axons.Although both axonal and extracellular matrix

A Euler-lagrange Model of dynamic internal friction

A Euler-Lagrange model of dynamic internal friction is proposed and is shown to match the frequency Jump Box and decay of oscillations in both simple extension (pull) and cantilever beam experiments.The proposed dynamic internal frictional stress, τij, is proportional to the rate of change of the engineering stress, σ˙ij.i.e.τij=μmσ˙ij,with
