Deformation of an artery under increasing lumen pressure. Meshed vessels from top to bottom: under no load, axially stretched, inflated under a small pressure without buckling, slightly buckled, and post-buckling. Plot: Deflection of the two edges at the middle of the artery (points A & B) and the centerline (average of points A and B) plotted with the loading time steps.
