An analytical approach to the biomechanics of intestinal contraction. (Une approche analytique sur la biomécanique de la contraction intestinale.) (French. Abridged English version) Zbl 0876.73054

Summary: A mathematical model of the small intestine is presented, which is based on the solid mechanics. This theoretical study is an improvement of a study already done on the mechanics of intestinal contraction where the axial fibres were omitted, see J. Ohayon et al. [ibid., II. Sér. 319, No. 2, 173-180 (1994; Zbl 0803.73060)]. Such an approach could explain the interaction between longitudinal and circular muscles during intestinal contraction.
