Fonck E, Prod'hom G, Roy S, Augsburger L, Rü fenacht DA, Stergiopulos N. Effect of elastin degradation on carotid wall mechanics as assessed by a constituent-based biomechanical model. Arteries display a nonlinear anisotropic behavior dictated by the elastic properties and structural arrangement of its main constituents, elastin, collagen, and vascular smooth muscle. Elastin provides for structural integrity and for the compliance of the vessel at low pressure, whereas collagen gives the
