Yielding Phenomena of Aortic Wall and Intramural Collagen Fiber Alignment: Possible Link to Rupture Mechanism of Aortic Aneurysms

Estimation of wall strength of the aortic aneurysms is necessary for the prediction of their rupture risk. We previously found a significant correlation between their tensile strength σMAX and a yielding parameter τσ, which is the stress when tangent elastic modulus reach...
