Abstract

We present a new method for controllable loading of cell models in an ultrasonic (20 kHz) regime. The protocol is based on the inertial-based ultrasonic shaking test and allows to deform cells in the range of few mm/m to help understand potential consequences of repeated loading characteristic of ultrasonic cutting.
