Material and geometrical data for the intima, media and adventitia of human aortas required for the model: except for the values of μ the data are obtained directly from Holzapfel et al. (2007) or calculated using data from the same study, from which we also obtained l = 2.48 mm. The values of μ are from Holzapfel (2006).
