Journal ArticleDOI
Hyperelastic modelling of arterial layers with distributed collagen fibre orientations
TL;DR: A structural continuum framework that is able to represent the dispersion of the collagen fibre orientation is developed and allows the development of a new hyperelastic free-energy function that is particularly suited for representing the anisotropic elastic properties of adventitial and intimal layers of arterial walls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanical factors in the biology of aortic wall and aortic valve diseases.
Magnus Bäck,Magnus Bäck,T. Christian Gasser,Jean-Baptiste Michel,Jean-Baptiste Michel,Giuseppina Caligiuri +5 more
TL;DR: The biomechanical factors that result from the haemodynamic load on the cardiovascular system are a common denominator of several vascular pathologies, such as macromolecule transport, gene expression alterations, cell death pathways, calcification, inflammation, and neoangiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissection properties of the human aortic media : An experimental study
TL;DR: The present study investigates the dissection properties of the media of 15 human abdominal aortas by means of direct tension tests and peeling tests, finding that peeling in the axial direction of the aorta generates a remarkably "rougher" dissection surface with respect to the surface generated by peaking in the circumferential direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood flow and coherent vortices in the normal and aneurysmatic aortas: a fluid dynamical approach to intra-luminal thrombus formation
TL;DR: A fluid-dynamics-motivated mechanism for platelet activation, convection and deposition in AAAs that has the potential of improving the current understanding of the pathophysiology of fluid-driven ILT growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Failure properties of intraluminal thrombus in abdominal aortic aneurysm under static and pulsating mechanical loads
TL;DR: ILT tissue is vulnerable against fatigue failure and shows significant decreasing strength with respect to the number of load cycles, and when compared with stress predictions from finite element (FE) studies, this indicates the likelihood of fatigue failure in vivo.
