Detailed Description

template<unsigned DIM>
class BuskeElasticForce< DIM >

A force law employed by Buske et al (2011) in their overlapping spheres model of the intestinal crypt (doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1001045).

Length is scaled by natural length.

Todo:
does this mean natural radius of a cell? If so at what age? (#1764) Time is in hours.

Member Function Documentation

template<unsigned DIM>
c_vector< double, DIM > BuskeElasticForce< DIM >::CalculateForceBetweenNodes ( unsigned  nodeAGlobalIndex,
unsigned  nodeBGlobalIndex,
AbstractCellPopulation< DIM > &  rCellPopulation 
)

Calculate the force between two nodes.

Note that this assumes they are connected and is called by rCalculateVelocitiesOfEachNode()

Parameters:
nodeAGlobalIndexindex of one neighbouring node
nodeBGlobalIndexindex of the other neighbouring node
rCellPopulationthe cell population

Calculate the magnitude of the force between two nodes that are a given distance apart and are associated with given cell radii.

Parameters:
distanceBetweenNodesthe distance between two nodes
radiusOfCellOneradius of a cell
radiusOfCellTworadius of a cell

Member Data Documentation

template<unsigned DIM>
double BuskeElasticForce< DIM >::mDeformationEnergyParameter [private]

Deformation energy parameter.

Represented by the parameter D in the model by Buske et al (2011) in their off-lattice model of the intestinal crypt (doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1001045).

Note: D=3/2(1-nu^2)/E

Where E is the Young Modulus and nu is the Poisson ratio of cells
