Can you calculate the total respiratory, lung, and chest wall respiratory mechanics?

Figure: Waveforms for a patient undergoing mechanical ventilation with volume-controlled mode.Tidal Volume of 500 ml, PEEP 15, Constant inspiratory Dummy Cameras flow of 45 l/min A: Airway pressure in cmH2O, B: Esophageal pressure in cmH2O, C: Trans-pulmonary pressure in cmH2O, D: Flow in l/min, E: Tidal volume in ml Red dashed horizontal line: values DVI at end of expiratory occlusion maneuver, White solid horizontal line: values at end of inspiratory occlusion maneuver, Green dashed horizontal line: values during peak inspiratory pressure.
