Axis Orientation

The cell alignment in a smooth muscle tissue plays a significant role in determining its mechanical properties. In addition to shortening strain, the off-axis cell orientation θ also modify the shear stress relationship significantly. A simulation model based on finite element analysis is developed to study the effect of stresses of tracheal smooth muscle tissue when its cells are orientated off-axially. Results obtained indicate that the maximum shear stress values of tracheal smooth muscle tissue at 45% strain are 2.5 times the values at 20% strain for all three off-axis orientation values θ = 15°, 30° and 45°.

Isotonic Shortening

The objectives of the present study are to investigate the response of a tracheal smooth muscle tissue to an applied longitudinal vibration following isotonic shortening, and, using experimental data, to simulate the mechanical response through a non-linear finite element analysis. The response of an activated smooth muscle tissue to forced length oscillations at 33Hz for 1 second was obtained. The response in terms of stiffness change and hysteresis was estimated from the experimental data. A finite element simulation was carried out to simulate the vibratory response under experimental conditions. The results obtained indicate that the approach and the vibratory response obtained may be useful for describing the cross-bridge deattachements within the cells as well as connective tissue connections characteristics of tracheal smooth muscle tissue.
