Inverse methods for characterizing the anisotropic hyperelastic behaviour of arteries in vitro

In this paper, we present a bi-axial characterization of in vitro human arteries. From the full-field experimental data obtained in inflation/extension tests, an inverse approach, called the virtual fields method (VFM), is used for deriving the material parameters of the tested arterial segment. Th...
