Figure 2. Stress distribution in arterial wall under axial twisting.

Figure 2

Distribution of normal stresses (top panel) and shear stress (bottom panel) across the wall thickness in an artery under an axial twist angle of 180 degree and a physiological lumen pressure of 100 mmHg and an axial stretch ratio of 1.35. Parametric studies showed that the trend holds true independent of the material constants used.
