Arterial tissue is commonly assumed to be incompressible. While this assumption is
convenient for both experimentalists and theorists, the compressibility of arterial tissue has …

The mechanical properties of human biological tissue vary greatly. The determination of
arterial material properties should be based on experimental data, ie diameter, length …

A definitive answer to the question whether artery walls are incompressible is to our opinion
not yet categorically provided. Experimental-based evidence on the level of compressibility …

Characterization of the constitutive behavior of normal and pathological blood vessel
segments could provide the clinician with a means to predict the onset and assess the …

Further experimental evidence on the compressibility of arteries under normal physiological
pressure range is provided using the experimental apparatus introduced in Yosibash et al …

Mechanical property variations of blood vessels from different anatomical sites supposedly
reflect variations in microstructure, but no explicit association has been afforded so far. The …

A plethora of phenomenological and structure-motivated constitutive models have thus far
been used as pseudoelastic descriptors in arterial biomechanics, but their parameters have …

▪ Abstract Knowledge of blood vessel mechanical properties is fundamental to the
understanding of vascular function in health and disease. Analytic results can help …

Nearly all soft tissues, among which the vascular tissue is included, present a certain degree
of viscoelastic response. This behaviour may be attributed in part to fluid transport within the …

Identification of a Strain Energy Function (SEF) is used when describing the complex
mechanical properties of soft biological tissues such as the arterial wall. Classic SEFs, such …
