Abstract

The dynamic response of an initially spherical capsule subject to different externally imposed flows is examined. The neo-Hookean and Skalak et al. ( Biophys. J. , vol. 13 (1973), pp. 245–264) constitutive laws are used for the description of the membrane mechanics, assuming negligible bending resis...
