Nonlinear steady-state electrical current modeling for the electropermeabilization of biological tissue

Abstract

We propose a steady-state electrical current equation with a nonlinear Ohm's law to model irreversible electropermeabilization in a biological tissue. The nonlinear problem is solved using Picard's method and the unknown parameters in Ohm's law are estimated from the observation of the tissue necrosis in experiences in which different voltages are applied to samples of potatoes
