Modeling and analysis of lipid bilayers with applications to vesicles and lipoprotein particles

Continuum approaches for modeling lipid bilayers are developed and applied to two-phase lipid vesicles and discoidal high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. First, relying on a three-dimensional model, the mechanics of a lipid bilayer with spontaneous curvature is considered. Kinematics, material...
