A linearized and incompressible constitutive model for arteries
2011
Journal of Theoretical Biology
In many biomechanical studies, blood vessels can be modeled as pseudoelastic orthotropic materials that are incompressible (volume-preserving) under physiological loading. To use a minimum number of elastic constants to describe the constitutive behavior of arteries, we adopt a generalized Hooke's law for the co-rotational Cauchy stress and a recently proposed logarithmicexponential strain. This strain tensor absorbs the material nonlinearity and its trace is zero for volume-preserving
