Optimal mechanical operation in the vicinity of curved vasculature
Xiaochang Leng, Xingjian Liu, Will Toress +1
It has been shown that geometrical, structural properties vary along the length of the aortic arch. There is a scarcity of studies focus on the variation in the vessel wall thickne…
Micromechanical Experimental and Numerical Studies of Collagen Fibers Failure in Arterial Tissue
Xiaochang Leng, Yingchao Yang, Xiaomin Deng +3
Arterial tissue failures lead to a number of clinical conditions that develop rapidly and unpredictably in vivo. Structural components and their interfacial mechanical strength of…
A Comparative Study of Cohesive Zone Models for Predicting Delamination Behaviors of Arterial Wall
Ting Miao, Liqiong Tian, Xiaochang Leng +2
Arterial tissue delamination, manifested as the failure between arterial layers, is a critical process in the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque, leading to potential life-threateni…
An inverse analysis of cohesive zone model parameter values for human fibrous cap mode I tearing
Xiaochang Leng, Lindsey Davis, Xiaomin Deng +3
Atherosclerotic plaque failure results from various pathophysiological events, with the existence of fibrous cap mode I tearing in the arterial wall, having the potential to block…
Experimental and Numerical Evaluations of the Viscoelastic Mechanical Behavior of Arterial Tissue
Xiaochang Leng, Xiaomin Deng, Suraj Ravindran +4
The viscoelastic properties of arterial tissue dictate vessel behavior in certain disease states, injury modalities, and during some endovascular procedures. In this study, we char…
