In modeling of elastic objects in a flow such as red blood cells, white blood cells, or tumor cells, several elastic moduli are involved. One of them is the area conservation modulus. In this paper, we focus on spring network models, and we introduce a new way of modeling the area preservation modulus. We take into account the current shape of the individual triangles and find the proportional allocation of area conservation forces, which would for individual triangles preserve their shapes…

Analysis of Initial Cell Spreading Using Mechanistic Contact Formulations for a Deformable Cell Model
TLDR
The presented model suggests that the initial slope of the spreading curve with time results from a purely geometrical effect facilitated mainly by dissipation upon contact, and the spreading rate decreases due to increasing tension and dissipation in the cell's cortex as the cell spreads more and more.
