Influence of the softness of the parietal pleura on respiratory sliding mechanisms

The pleural surfaces of the lung and chest wall slide against each other with low friction. Normal load support can be effected either by a combination of quasi-static fluid pressure and solid-solid contacts of relatively stiff asperities, or by shear-induced hydrodynamic pressures in the pleural fl...
