Abstract:The three-dimensional dynamic theory of elasticity is applied to investigate the mechanical properties of virus capsid. The idealized model of the virus is based on the 3D boundary-value problem of mathematical physics formulated in spherical coordinate system for the steady-state oscillation process. The virus is modeled as a hollow elastic sphere filled by acoustic medium and is located in different acoustic medium. The stated boundary-value problem is solved with the help of the integral transform method an… Show more
