Zusammenfassung:This work deals with the prediction of the mechanical response of a section of a human common carotid artery (CCA). The arterial residual stress state is accounted for using the thermomechanical analogy (TMA) approach, which is applied in this work to model the mechanical response of a two-layered arterial structure. The starting point to model the arterial residual stress state is normally the cut-open section, which is in the case of patient-specific artery not known. With TMA approach, however, instead of using the arterial zero-stress cut-open configuration to predict the arterial residual stress state, a thermomechanical model of the CCA is considered with its zero-stress geometry defined based on the actual CCA in vivo configuration. The approximation to the CCA residual stress state is then obtained by exposing the auxiliary CCA model to a volumetric deformation, enforced via adequate thermal dilatations. The approach is validated on a circular arterial model and by predicting the CCA cut-open zero-stress state.
