title = "Analytical model for the arterial wall",
abstract = "The blood vessel wall is considered as a nonlinear, viscoelastic and composite material. Two successful models in describing the nonlinear stress-strain relationship are the polynomial (Patel and Vaishnav, 1972) and the exponential (Fung, 1981) models. In this study, we modified Patel's model by expressing the strain energy as a function of strain invariants. This manipulation introduces more physical meanings and makes the variation of the polynomial coefficients less sensitive to small changes in the test data. With this nonlinear constitutive relation, we formulated the motion of the arterial wall by considering the nonlinearities in wall geometry and boundary conditions. Linearization of the equations of motion of arterial wall and boundary conditions are then made.",
