FIG. 5. — Rate-independent (solid lines) and rate-dependent (dotted lines) evolutions computed, respectively, with the pseudoelastic and the full constrained mixture models, the latter with a single characteristic G&R time s_G&R ∼ 10 days, for different increases in pressure with s_ext ∼ 10 days. Shown are (a) prescribed loads P/P_o from 1 to 1.15, 1.30, and 1.45, (b) respective mechano-stimulus functions ϒ^c, (c) referential mass densities of collagen $ρ_{M R}^{c} / ρ_{M o}^{c} = ρ_{A R}^{c} / ρ_{A o}^{c}$ , (d) relative inner radius a/a_o, (e) relative medial thickness h_M/h_Mo, and (f) relative adventitial thickness h_A/h_Ao.
