[Analysis of nerve fiber deformation during excitation]

A description of the potential--dependent strains of the nerve fiber is considered as a problem of finding the velocity and pressure distributions in two liquid volumes which are divided by a thin cylindric shell. The isotropic shell equations were used as the boundary conditions for this problem. The strain amplitude predicted is near to the observed one, but the strain dynamics in the model discussed does not coincide with the one recorded under the experimental conditions.
