...Dimitrios P. Sokolis; Nausicaa Gouskou; Stavroula A. Papadodima; Stavros K. Kourkoulis This study described the regional distribution of layer-specific residual deformations in fifteen human aortas collected during autopsy. Circumferentially and axially cut strips of standardized dimensions from...

... of its actual zero-stress state. The aim of this study was thus to acquire hitherto unreported quantitative knowledge of axial opening angle and residual stretches in different segments and quadrants of the human aorta according to age and gender. Twenty-three aortas were harvested during autopsy from...

...P. Mythravaruni; Parag Ravindran Oxidation of aorta by hydroxyl radicals produces structural changes in arterial proteins like elastin and collagen. This in turn results in change in the mechanical response of aorta. In this paper, a thermodynamically consistent constitutive model is developed...

..., we compared the biaxial mechanical properties of five central arteries—the ascending thoracic aorta, descending thoracic aorta, suprarenal abdominal aorta, infrarenal abdominal aorta, and common carotid artery—from male and female wild-type and fibulin-5 deficient mice. Results revealed...

...Alexander Rachev; Stephen Greenwald; Tarek Shazly In conclusion, the results of this study support the premise that, having considered the variation of the deformed inner diameter, axial stretch ratio and area compliance along the aorta to be governed by the systemic requirements for flow...

... at a lower, but predominant level. Therefore, only two levels of turbulence parameters are presented and discussed in each of the four cases. The discussion will focus on the ascending aorta (AA) and aortic arch, since the measurements were acquired between the mid-AA and proximal arch, always proximal...

...L. Morris; P. Delassus; A. Callanan; M. Walsh; F. Wallis; P. Grace; T. McGloughlin A Spiral Computerized Tomography (CT) scan of the aorta were obtained from a single subject and three model variations were examined. Computational fluid dynamics modeling of all three models showed variations...

...Suo Jin; John Oshinski; Don P. Giddens Helical flows have been observed in the ascending aorta in vivo , and geometric curvature has been suggested to be a major contributing factor. We employed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and velocity mapping to develop a computational model to examine...
