Variational Principles for Buckling of Microtubules Modeled as Nonlocal Orthotropic Shells
A variational principle for microtubules subject to a buckling load is derived by semi-inverse method. The microtubule is modeled as an orthotropic shell with the constitutive equations based on nonlocal elastic theory and the effect of filament network taken into account as an elastic surrounding....
