A new wall stress equation for aneurysm-rupture prediction
1Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7910, USA.
Abstract:
Aneurysms, especially in the abdominal aorta (AAA), are prone to rupture, and hence a reliable and easy-to-use predictor is most desirable. Based on clinical observations and numerical analyses, a semi-empirical equation for the peak AAA-wall stress has been developed. It can be readily used for AAA-rupture predictions or can be integrated into more elaborate AAA-assessment models.

The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...
