Fig 5. Comparative stress and strain values for common carotid arteries subjected to passive mechanical testing at 100 mmHg.

Fig 5

(a) Circumferential stress, (b) circumferential stretch, and (c) axial stress for bovine, porcine, ovine, leporine, murine-rat, and murine-mouse carotid arteries at 1.5 axial stretch ratio. Figure (d) illustrates the minimal axial stretch ratio to maintain vessels in tension at 100 mmHg. All values are mean ± STD. (*) denotes statistical significance at p ≤ 0.05 between the leftmost group and the corresponding hash-mark.
