      Multiscale, structure-based modeling for the elastic mechanical behavior of arterial walls 

      Barocas, V. Η; Stylianopoulos, T. (2007)
      Passive elastic behavior of arterial wall remains difficult to model. Although phenomenological and structural models exist, the question of how the three-dimensional network structure of the collagen in the artery determines ...
