No immediate clinical implications for arterial disease; leaves open validation of residual strain effects in human vessels.
A 3D finite element model demonstrates that residual strains make circumferential stress and strain distributions in the arterial wall more uniform.
He et al. (2007) studied Arterial wall mechanics. 3D finite element model with residual strains was evaluated on Circumferential stress and strain distributions. A 3D finite element model demonstrated that residual strains make the circumferential stress and strain distributions in the arterial wall more uniform across the wall thickness.
