Abstract
An orthotropic shell-Stokes flow model has been developed to explore the distinctive vibration behaviors of microtubules (MTs) in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. The slip boundary condition has been considered for the MTs due to the existence of an ionic slip layer formed on the MT-cytosol interface. The dispersion relations have been derived and the viscous effect of cytosol has been examined quantitatively. The results show that an MT-cytosol system only supports the torsional and longitudinal vibrations of MTs where negligible or small damping occurs for the axisymmetric torsional and long-wavelength longitudinal vibrations whereas the non-axisymmetric torsional or longitudinal vibration of MTs decays exponentially in cytosol.
