Results of the sensitivity to the critical fracture energy of the media/media interface. (A) Results with the upper value of Gc and (B) results with the lower value of Gc. Parameters for these models are the following. At the plaque/media interface, Gc = 0.02 N/mm (mode I) and 0.04 N/mm (mode II); at the media/media interface, (A) Gc = 0.5 N/mm (mode I) and 1 N/mm (mode II) vs. (B) Gc = 2×10−4 N/mm (mode I) and 4×10−4 (mode II); plaque bulk modulus K = 34 kPa.
