    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Biomechanics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Arterial wall mechanics are crucial for understanding cardiovascular health.
    • Existing models may not fully capture the complex stress-strain behavior of vascular tissue.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel 3D stress-strain relationship for arterial walls using an exponential strain energy function.
    • To determine material constants from experimental data of rabbit arteries.
    • To investigate stress and strain distributions across the arterial wall.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a 3D constitutive model based on an exponential strain energy function.
    • Identified material constants using experimental data from rabbit arteries under inflation and longitudinal stretch.
    • Analyzed stress and strain variations assuming tissue incompressibility and a stress-free initial state.

    Main Results:

    • A feasible and practical method for characterizing arterial wall biomechanics was demonstrated.
    • Significant variations in stresses and strains were observed across the arterial wall.
    • The assumption of tissue incompressibility significantly influences the predicted mechanical behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed exponential strain energy function provides a viable model for arterial wall biomechanics.
    • Understanding stress and strain heterogeneity is critical for accurate vascular modeling.
    • Incompressibility is a key factor affecting the mechanical response of the arterial wall.
