A Model for the Estimation of Residual Stresses in Soft Tissues

A Model for the Estimation of Residual Stresses in Soft Tissues

This dissertation focuses on a novel approach for characterizing the mechanical behavior of an elastic body. In particular, we develop a mathematical tool for the estimation of residual stress field in an elastic body that has mechanical properties similar to that of the arterial wall, by making use...
