Evolving transmural circumferential (bold curves) and axial (light) Cauchy stresses for the opened configuration κ2(s) of the entire artery at indicated actual ages. All results for βc = 0.2. The progressively smaller inner radii ρi(s) accompany a dramatic decrease in opening angle Φ0(s) (see figure 2). As in the case of the in vivo and excised configurations, the circumferential Cauchy stress gradients are stronger than those in the axial direction.
