Abstract: The effects of hypertension on the stress and strain distributions through the wall thickness were studied in the rat thoracic aorta. Goldblatt hypertension was induced by constricting the left ...

Abstract: Effects of cyclic stress on the mechanical properties of collagen fascicles were studied by in vitro tissue culture experiments. Collagen fascicles (approximately 300 μm in diameter) obtained ...

Abstract: Mechanical properties of the descending thoracic aortae harvested from endothelial cell-denuded and/or cholesterol diet-fed rabbits were studied primarily with their pressure-diameter relationships. ...

Abstract: A realistic model experiment on hemodynamics was performed to study correlations between wall shear stresses measured in a cast model of the aortic bifurcation and intimal thickness at each ...

Abstract: With the aim of studying mechanisms of the remodeling of tendons and ligaments, the effects of stress shielding on the rabbit patellar tendon were studied by performing tensile and stress ...

Abstract: The effects of frequency or duration of cyclic stress on the mechanical properties of collagen fascicles were studied by means of in vitro tissue culture experiments. Collagen fascicles of ...

Abstract: In-vitro tissue culture experiments were performed to study the effects of static stress on the mechanical properties of collagen fascicles obtained from the rabbit patellar tendon. After collagen ...

Abstract: We studied the effects of restressing on the mechanical properties and morphology of stress-shielded rabbit patellar tendons. After completely unloading the patellar tendon for 1 to 3 weeks, ...
