    Elastic modeling is essential for mechanical behavior of biopolymer spherical shells [such as ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs), spherical viruses and enzymes] characterized by high structural heterogeneity and geometric imperfection. The effects of structural heterogeneity and geometric...

    Three important mechanical behaviors of microtubules in vivo, i.e., buckling, vibration and splitting are investigated with especial focus on their relevance to biological functions of microtubules. To study the vibration and buckling of a microtubule, we model a microtubule as an elastic beam...
