Modeling of elastic lamina buckling coupled with smooth muscle layer deformation in the aortic media: technique for readily implementing residual stresses

In vivo aortic wall thickening is a mechanical adaptation to the prolonged increase in intravascular pressure resulting from hypertension, which is mainly regulated by primary components of the aortic media, the elastic lamina (EL) and the smooth muscle-rich layer (SML). This study built a simplifie...
