title: [Three-dimensional finite element analysis on cell culture membrane under mechanical load].
abstract: A three-dimensional finite element model of the cell culture membrane was developed in the culture device under tension state made by us. The magnitude of tension and the displacement distribution in the membrane made of silicon rubber under different hydrostatic load were obtained by use of FEM analysis. A comparative study was made between the numerical and the experimental results. These results can serve as guides to the related cellular mechanical research.
