Hi DickL, This kind of gets away from the focus of my question, but, despite its thickness, the contractile forces of cardiac cells are quite strong, especially when grouped together. When the cells contract, they do so inward toward their cell body and not only in the XY, but the Z as well...

Hi Studiot, You need to describe the distribution of the cells on the plate for loading calculation purposes. It can be assumed as a distributed load (uniformly seeded on top of the cantilever plate). I do not understand what you mean by the cells loading the plate by beating...

Hi all, I have a cantilever that is a plate (not a beam) with dimensions 2mm wide x 4mm long x 0.3mm thick. It is fixed only at one side, with the other 3 sides free. I want to be able to find the intrinsic stress on it after it is fabricated. To complicate matters, I also want to put...
