Abstract

Local compliance is a quantitative measure of the local distortionability of the lung parenchyma with respect to the overall averaged compliance of the entire lung. The latter is generally assumed to inflate and deflate uniformly. Utilizing recently derived non-linear parenchymal properties for saline-ventilated dog lungs, finite elasticity theory was utilized to obtain more accurate compliance values. A three-dimensional model was formulated and solved in two ways. A numerical solution to the equilibrium equations and a finite element solution based on a spherical finite element were compared.
