Abstract:This contribution deals with the modeling of the physiological behavior of arterial walls, in order to enable a reliable calculation of the transmural stress distribution including also the active response of arterial tissue. Therefore, a simple viscoelastic model, which only requires few material parameters, is considered. Furthermore, a comparative study, investigating the influence of viscoelasticity on the mechanical behavior of arterial walls, is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
