Abstract
Blood vessel biomechanics is an essential and interdisciplinary research topic, incorporating disciplines ranging from nonlinear solid mechanics to anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Vascular mechanics is imperative for predicting vascular physiology and the way blood vessels interact mechanically with other organs. In addition, a number of vascular pathologies (e.g., atherosclerosis, hypertension, arterial aneurysms) have a pivotal biomechanical basis since they are initiated and propagated as a result of non-homeostatic mechanical loadings. Knowledge of the stress field in the blood vessel wall and its relation to strains and to loading imposed on the vessel cells will aid in understanding these diseases.
