Impact of material properties of tissues on stresses in a pathological carotid artery
Hrubanová, Anna ; Návrat, Tomáš (referee) ; Burša, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with determination of representative constitutive model for describing atherosclerotic carotid artery behavior. The first part of the thesis provides brief summary of medical knowledge needed as well as detailed describtion of current experimental methods for determination of mechanical properties of atherosclerotic arteries. The main part is focused on mechanical testing of atheroslecotic carotid arteries. The description of sample preparation, testing device and the experiment itself is involved. Statistical analysis of measured data is done, focusing on comparison of factors potentially influencing mechanical behavior. In conclusion, the FEA analysis on simplified geometry of carotid artery with atheroma is performed. Emphasis is placed on the impact of material model obtained from experiments on equivalent stress in fibrous cap.
