    This study models air-filled lung strain energy, combining surface and elastic tissue energies. The findings support the lung

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Biomechanics
    • Respiratory System Physiology
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Understanding lung mechanics is crucial for diagnosing and treating respiratory diseases.
    • The lung's complex microstructure influences its elastic properties.
    • Previous models have simplified the lung's heterogeneous tissue composition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To calculate the strain energy of the air-filled lung using a detailed microstructural model.
    • To investigate the contributions of different tissue components to lung elasticity.
    • To validate the model against observed lung behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a computational model of lung parenchymal microstructure.
    • Calculated strain energy as the sum of surface energy and elastic energies of two distinct tissue systems.
