A theoretical and non-destructive experimental approach for direct inclusion of measured collagen orientation and recruitment into mechanical models of the artery …
Gradual collagen recruitment has been hypothesized as the underlying mechanism for the
mechanical stiffening with increasing stress in arteries. In this work, we investigated this …

Structurally motivated damage models for arterial walls. Theory and application
AM Robertson, MR Hill, D Li - Modeling of Physiological Flows, 2012 - Springer
The mechanical integrity of the arterial wall is vital for the health of the individual. This
integrity is in turn dependent on the state of the central load bearing components of the wall …

A Novel Approach for Combining Biomechanical and Micro-Structural Analyses to Assess the Mechanical and Damage Properties of the Artery Wall
M Hill - 2012 - d-scholarship.pitt.edu
Elastin and collagen have been described as the dominant passive load bearing proteins in
the artery wall. The highly distensible elastin has been hypothesized to bear most of the load …
