Determination of strain energy function for arterial elastin: Experiments using histology and mechanical testsNamrata Gundiah
Department of Surgery, University of California, San Francisco, USA
J Biomech 40:586-94. 2007..We propose an orthotropic material symmetry for arterial elastin with two orthogonally oriented and symmetrically placed mechanically equivalent fibers. An exact form of the constitutive equation will be obtained in a future study...
Significant material property differences between the porcine ascending aorta and aortic sinusesNamrata Gundiah
Department of Surgery, University of California at San Francisco Medical Center UCSF, San Francisco, CA 94143 0118, USA
J Heart Valve Dis 17:606-13. 2008..However, these studies have assumed the same material properties for the ascending aorta and aortic sinuses. The study aim was to compare the material properties of the ascending aorta and aortic sinuses in porcine roots...
The biomechanics of arterial elastinNamrata Gundiah
Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720 1740, USA
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2:288-96. 2009..Because there are no significant differences in the coefficients corresponding to invariants I(4) and I(6), we surmise that there is an equal distribution of fibers in the circumferential and axial directions...
Asymmetric mechanical properties of porcine aortic sinusesNamrata Gundiah
Department of Surgery, University of California at San Francisco Medical Center, San Francisco, California 94143, USA
Ann Thorac Surg 85:1631-8. 2008..The aim of this study is to compare the biaxial mechanical properties of the individual porcine aortic sinuses...
