Based on elastic substrate technique, this paper develops a set of algorithms for high-efficiency cellular traction recovery. By applying a gradient-based digital image correlation method to track randomly distributed fluorescence microbeads on the deformed substrate induced by single cardiac myocyte, high-resolution substrate displacement field can readily be obtained. By using a numerical algorithm based on the integral Boussinesq solution, cell-substrate tractions are reconstructed in a stable and reliable manner. Finally, spatiotemporal dynamics of a single cardiac myocyte is investigated as it adheres to a polyacrylamide elastic substrate.展开更多

And an analytical solution is presented by using the perturbation method. The relation of surface adhesive energies with critical load to detach the contacted surfaces is obtained. In the numerical results, the effects of adhesive energy, in-plane tensile force, rigid bump size and contact radius on the critical load are discussed, and the relation of critical contact radius with the gap between the central rigid bump and the substrate for different adhesive energies is investigated.展开更多
