Viscoelastic and Viscoplastic Glucose Theory (VGT 4): Three Developed Postprandial Plasma Glucose Stress-Strain Diagrams for Normal, Pre-Diabetes, and Severe Diabetes Levels to Illustrate the Correlation Between Biomedical Conditions of the Disease and Biophysics Behaviors of Glucose Based on Linear Elasticity Theory (TimeIndependent), Plasticity Theory (Time-Independent), and Viscoplasticity Theory (Time-Dependent) Utilizing GH-Method: Math-Physical Medicine (No. 581)

Abstract

Gerald C Hsu

The author has studied strength of materials and theory of elasticity through his undergraduate courses at the University of Iowa. He also conducted research work to earn a master’s degree in Biomechanics under Professor James Andrews. At that time, he used the spring and dashpot models to simulate the behaviors of human joints, bones, muscles, and tendons in order to investigate the human-weapon interactions during the Vietnam war era. Later, he went to MIT to pursue his PhD study under Professor Norman Jones, who taught him theory of plasticity and dynamic plastic behaviors of various structure elements. He also took additional graduate courses in the field of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.
