... fluctuations. Aortic function is governed by its morphology, histology, the mechanical properties of its structural constituents and the interactions between them. All of these factors are modulated by the arterial pressure, blood flow rate, and tethering to surrounding tissues. aorta continuum...

...Paul S. Steif; Matthew C. Palastro; Yoed Rabin As part of an ongoing effort to study the continuum mechanics effects associated with cryopreservation, the current report focuses on the prediction of fracture formation in cryoprotective agents. Fractures had been previously observed in 1 ml samples...
