Abstract

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part L: Journal of Materials: Design and Applications, Ahead of Print.
The aorta and pulmonary artery perform distinct physiological functions and therefore exhibit different mechanical behaviors. However, the multi-scale structural determinants of these differences remain incompletely understood. In this study, uniaxial ...
