[Two mathematical models of estimating RBC membrane elastic modulus and a comparison of them by use of bottom
1Department of Physics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310031.
Abstract:
In this study on red blood cell(RBC) deformability by use of bottom attached method, RBC membrane elastic modulus is estimated introducing elliptical model and is compared with that of traditional rectangular model. As a result, RBC membrane elastic modulus using elliptical model is 20.9% greater than that of rectangular model.

01:15Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity
Deformation occurs in axial and transverse directions when an axial load is applied to a slender bar. This deformation impacts the cubic element within the bar, transforming it into either a rectangular parallelepiped or a rhombus, contingent on its orientation. This transformation process induces shearing strain. Axial loading elicits both shearing and normal strains. Applying an axial load instigates equal normal and shearing stresses on elements oriented at a 45° angle to the load axis.
01:16Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
The dynamic modulus of elasticity assesses how a concrete structure deforms under impact or dynamic loads. It is typically higher than the static modulus of elasticity, measured under slow, steady loading conditions.
The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by a...
