Abstract
- The structural response of a large artery is characteristically complex and includes the highly non-linear, history-dependent response of a nonhomogeneous anisotropic structure undergoing finite deformations. The mechanics of the arterial wall has been studied for nearly two centuries. The goals of such research range from the desire to have a basic knowledge and understanding of the mechanics and physiology of this complex structure to the need for data and methods for the design of arterial prostheses. In this paper, the models for arterial wall behaviour are critically reviewed. Firstly, the structure and general characteristics of the arterial wall are discussed. This is followed by a comprehensive review of the constitutive laws. Finally, structural analyses of the arterial wall by mathematical and numerical methods are discussed. Predictions using the authors' preferred models give focus to important issues, and in Part 2 the review and predictions are extended to the fluid solid coupled situation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
