Arterial Wall Viscoelasticity
Application ID: 42821
Anisotropic hyperelastic materials are used to model collagenous soft tissue in arterial walls. The Arterial Wall Mechanics application describes a section of an artery using the Holzapfel–Gasser-Ogden hyperelastic material model. In this example, the dynamic behavior of the artery is studied by adding a five-branch viscoelasticity feature to the hyperelastic material to capture the viscoelastic response.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Tabella delle Funzionalità and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
