J022065 Development of Cylinder Pinching Method for Elasticity Evaluation of Arterial Vessels

Abstract

Developing technique of indentation is presented on the deformation characteristics of human arterial vessels in this paper. For the simulation and the evaluation of conditions in human body, an artificial circulatory circuit is developed to evaluate some assumption on the representations. Then spherical indentation test is performed on the evaluation ofthe Young's modulus of the silicone tubes which are used as virtual artery in the circuit. By using these evaluations conditions, the validity of the assumption is discussed by using the fundamentals of cylindrical thick shell theory. Especially, the validation of derived deformation characteristics is evaluated in the discussion of this paper.
