“…Hardening was implemented in ABAQUS by considering the increase of yield stress with the plastic strain. The hypocellular plaque was modelled as an isotropic hyperelastic material using the Ogden strain energy potential, with parameters given in Zahedmanesh and Lally (2009). While the balloon was modelled as linear elastic, with a density of 1.1×10 6 kg/mm 3 , Young's modulus of 900 MPa and Poisson's ratio of 0.3 (Gervaso et al, 2008).…”
