[Mechanics of Solid] Friction on a needle inserted in tissue

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling the forces acting on a needle as it penetrates tissue, emphasizing the friction generated by the needle-tissue interaction. The pressure exerted by the surrounding tissue is crucial for calculating this friction force. Participants suggest using the relationship between pressure, volume, and force, specifically considering the length of penetration. To determine the tissue pressure, deformation and Young's modulus are proposed as necessary properties for accurate calculations. Understanding these mechanics is essential for improving needle insertion techniques in medical applications.

Hello ,
I'm trying to model the forces on a needle being inserted in a tissue. Needle tip penetrates the tissue surface and as it moves through the tissue, it experiences friction from needle-tissue interaction. Friction arises from the pressure exerted by surrounding tissue as it grips the needle. Assuming we have all the properties data for the tissue material, needle dimensions etc, how can we determine the pressure from the tissue ? [for friction force calculation]

U can use the formula Pressure * Volume equals Force*h(h is length of penetration)

That's true. But how would you calculate the pressure exerted by tissue on needle? I'm sure that we have to use the deformation / young's modulus or some another property of the tissue to find the pressure.
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
