Axonal retraction in modeled as passive recoil of viscoelasticmaterial w/nonlinear elastic component in parallell with viscouslinear component where F_e=kx^2 and F_v=ndx/dt Total force actingis the sum of elastic and viscous forces. (So F = F_e+F_v) If totalforce is suddenly released (F=0, t=0), find position as function oftime as axon retracts towar its unstretched length, L* (where x=0)--------- I need help writing out the equation for x(t). I thoughtF = -kx^2+ndx/t and integrate, but I dont think its right. Thankyou.
