Understanding the deformation of arterial walls under loading is essential for the definition of some new therapeutic protocols. This requires the modeling of the mechanical behavior of the artery wall. In this work, in order to account for the microstructure, each of the conventional three layers of the artery is assumed to behave like a dilatation elastic solid. The resulting compound is then submitted to various loads and the response analyzed in order to highlight the contribution of the microstructure. Finally, the impact of a localized zone of microstructure modification on the overall deformation is investigated.

将动脉建模为多层扩张弹性介质：数值研究

了解负载下动脉壁的变形对于定义一些新的治疗方案至关重要。这需要对动脉壁的机械行为进行建模。在这项工作中，为了解释微观结构，假设传统的三层动脉中的每一层都表现得像扩张的弹性固体。然后将所得化合物置于各种载荷下并分析响应以突出微观结构的贡献。最后，研究了局部微观结构改性区对整体变形的影响。
