Results of the sensitivity to the plaque compressibility. (A) Results with the upper value of K and (B) results with the lower value of K. 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, Gc = 0.01 N/mm (mode I) and 0.02 N/mm (mode II); plaque bulk modulus (A) K = 180 kPa vs. (B) K = 15 kPa.
