Description
Pipette aspiration is a widely used biomechanical technique for measuring the mechanical properties of cells and soft tissues. In this study, we present a computational model of pipette aspiration based on the finite elementmethod, as implemented in FreeFEM++. This model simulates tissue deformation under suction pressure, enabling us to analyze the system’s frequency response. Our results demonstrate FreeFEM++’s effectiveness in modelling complex biomechanical systems, providing insights into the viscoelastic properties of tissues under dynamic loading conditions.
