Growth, residual stresses and mechanical responses of arterial walls under the inner
pressure are investigated within the framework of a finite deformation hyper-elasticity theory …

Arteries manifest a remodeling response to long-term alterations in arterial pressure and
blood flow by changing geometry, structure, and composition through processes driven by …

All tissues in the human body continuously grow, remodel, and adapt to changes in their
physiological environment, in order to maintain homeostasis or to retain it in case of …
