parameters highlights the need for non-classical models and/or active mod-
els that incorporate dynamic remodeling of the cell in response to mechan-
ical stimuli.
4.5 Solid elastic models
Solid elastic models assume that the cell is composed of one or more homog-
enous material layers. There are two general kinds of elastic solid models:
the linear-elastic and linear-viscoelastic.
4.5.1 Linear-elastic solid models
In the linear-elastic solid model, a cell is regarded as solid with homog-
enous, elastic properties. The value for its elasticity can be determined from
its experimentally ...
