“…c 1 , c 2 , D 1 , D 2 , K 1 and K 2 are material parameters. Parameter values for the vessel layers and p l aque components used in our models are ( 10 , 18 ): Intima: c 1 = −169.23 kPa, c 2 = 177.40 kPa, D 1 = 2.4 kPa, D 2 = 13, K 1 = 32 kPa, K 2 = 36; Media: c 1 = −67.25 kPa, c 2 = 35.01 kPa, D 1 = 17 kPa, D 2 = 2, K 1 = 7 kPa, K 2 = 4, φ = 24.9°; Adventitia; c 1 = −94.44 kPa, c 2 = 102.42 kPa, D 1 = 0.8 kPa, D 2 = 10, K 1 = 10 kPa, K 2 = 40, φ = 75.3°; lipid core: c 1 = 0.5 kPa, c 2 = 0 kPa, D 1 = 0.5 kPa, D 2 = 1.5; calcification: c 1 = 920 kPa, c 2 = 0 kPa, D 1 = 360 kPa, and D 2 = 2.0. For single-layer models, intima parameter values were used for the entire vessel wall.…”
