Archive “Displacement with uniform substrate.zip”:

Displacement.m: Main code that combines all other functions and calculates cell displacement on uniform substrate (i.e. with constant elasticity and thickness).
distance.m: A function to compute the strain energy density and the resultant vectors in x and y directions.

Archive “Displacement with variable substrate elasticity.zip”:

Migration_with_different_substrate_elasticity.m: Main code that combines all functions to calculate cell displacement on a substrate with variable elastic modulus and constant thickness.
Elasticity.m: A function to calculate the strain energy density with two different substrate elastic modulus and a constant substrate thickness.

Archive “Displacement with variable substrate thickness.zip”:

Migration_with_different_substrate_thickness.m: Main code that combines the other functions to calculate cell displacement on a substrate with variable thickness and constant elastic modulus.
Thickness.m: A function to calculate the strain energy density with two different substrate thickness and constant substrate elastic modulus.
