Fig. 6.7 The corresponding
frequency response of the
transfer function for the
network of spring-dashpot
elements in levels 16-24
Fig. 6.8 A schematic
representation of the
mechanical model for the
lung parenchymal tissue
(levels 16-24)
in a single tissue strip [ 8 ]. In his topic, Bates shows the clinical implication of vis-
coelastic (mechanical) models and their bearing to the origin of FO lumped models.
A more medical-oriented comprehensive topic is therefore referred in [ 9 ].
