Abstract:This study investigates the influence of artery unfoldment on its mechanical response in planar tension test. Inflation test was chosen for comparison because, with the axial stretch λz = 1, it also keeps plane strain condition. Both tests were simulated in silico using finite element method. The geometry models correspond to aorta and common carotid artery with distinguished two layers within the arterial wall; a homogenous wall model was also used for comparison. Material models were acquired by fitting the … Show more
