Biomechanical factors play fundamental roles in the natural history of abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAAs) and their responses to treatment. Advances during the past two decades …

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are permanent, local expansions of the abdominal
segment of the aorta that can potentially be fatal if progressing to rupture. AAAs are rarely …

An aortic aneurysm (AA) is a focal dilatation of the aortic wall. Occurrence of AA rupture is an
all too common event that is associated with high levels of patient morbidity and mortality …

Accurate failure criteria play a fundamental role in biomechanical analyses of aortic wall
rupture and dissection. Experimental investigations have demonstrated a significant …

For the accurate prediction of the vascular disease progression, there is a crucial need for
developing a systematic tool aimed toward patient-specific modeling. Considering the …

In this paper, a thermo-mechanical analysis of shape memory polyurethane foams
(SMPUFs) with aiding of a finite element model (FEM) for treating cerebral aneurysms (CAs) …

Recent advances in computational modeling of vascular adaptations and the need for their
extension to patient-specific modeling have introduced new challenges to the path toward …

Residual stresses are generated in living tissues by processes of growth and adaptation and
they significantly influence the mechanical behaviour of the tissues. Thus, to effectively …

Advances in theoretical modeling of biological tissue growth and remodeling (G&R) and
computational biomechanics have been helpful to capture salient features of vascular …

In this paper, we apply a mixture theory of growth and remodeling to study the formation and
dilatation of abdominal aortic aneurysms. We adapt the continuum theory of mixtures to …
