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…
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…
