Example image of a canine aorta indicating the normalized coordinate system: x and L are the axial location of each point under study and the total length of the aortic trunk ex vivo, respectively. Also, the schematics of excised circumferential and longitudinal samples from multiple locations –to be used for consequent mechanical testing– are shown in the figure.
