Experimental tests on human corneas reveal distinguished reinforcing collagen lamellar
structures that may be well described by a structural constitutive model considering …

Fibrous cap thickness is often considered as diagnostic of the degree of plaque instability.
Necrotic core area (Corearea) and the arterial remodeling index (Remodindex), on the other …

Future research that will define the endothelial contribution to stiffness-related
cardiovascular disease may provide new targets for intervention to restore endothelial …

Data relating to residual deformations in human arteries are scarce. In this paper we
investigate three-dimensional residual deformations for intact strips and for their separate …

This paper provides the first analysis of the three-dimensional state of residual stress and
stretch in an artery wall consisting of three layers (intima, media and adventitia), modelled as …

Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys are expected to be promising materials for
cardiovascular stents (CVS), which can avoid the long-term clinical problems of current CVS …

A new, computationally efficient method is presented for processing transient thin-film heat
transfer gauge signals. These gauges are widely used in gas turbine heat transfer research …

Coronary plaque rupture is the most common cause of vessel thrombosis and acute
coronary syndrome. The accurate early detection of plaques prone to rupture may allow …

In this study a numerical model is developed to predict the effects of corrosion on the
mechanical integrity of bioabsorbable metallic stents. To calibrate the model, the effects of …

Most biomedical and pharmaceutical research of the human vascular system aims to
unravel the complex mechanisms that drive disease progression from molecular to organ …
