Which of the following best describes a mixture model in viscoelasticity?

In the context of finite element analysis, what does ‘mesh’ refer to?

What is a limitation of finite element analysis?

If this were a thick cylinder with residual stress, which of the following statements is likely to be true?

How does mechanotransduction affect gene expression in cells?

The following 2 questions are based on the figure below, which depicts a parallel plate viscometer Assume the following: there is no external pressure, there is an axis of symmetry passing through the center of the plates. Assume that the effects of gravity (body force) and temperature can be neglected. Assume the pressure gradient in z is negligible (because the fluid thickness is so small).

According to Murray’s law, the flow rate in each of the three blood vessels is the same

If the internal pressure, P, in a thick-walled artery is given as 16 kPa, what is the primary factor affecting circumferential stress?

The following questions are based on the following figure and equations.  

The following 3 questions are based on the data in the table below.  This data refers to endothelial cell (EC) and smooth muscle cell (SMC) activity of a vein that is transplanted to a location subjected to arterial pressure.  h is vessel wall thickness, a is radius, σθθ is wall circumferential stress.
