摘要
The micropipette technique has been widely used to determine the mechanical response of living cells. Cell is a complex structure and has highly nonlinear behavior when aspirated by the micropipette. Different models exist in the literature to determine the physical properties of the cells from the micropipette aspiration. In this work, we model the cell’s response during micropipette aspiration using continuum nonlinear membrane theory. The peripheral surface of the cell is modeled as a nonlinear membrane. The membrane is homogenous, isotropic, and of hyper-elastic material. The cytoplasm of the cell is modeled as an incompressible fluid. Our results show good agreement with the experiments reported in the literature.
