FIGURE 5

Effect of the spring constant k12 (spring constant of spring 1 in Kelvin body 2) on (A) peak deformation and (B) peak asymptotic force in body 1 in a system of two Kelvin bodies connected in parallel under both steady and oscillatory flow conditions. The remaining constants in the two-body system (k11, k21, μ1, k22, and μ2) are assumed constant and are assigned the baseline values of actin (Table 1).
