Abstract:
In this paper, problems concerning the uniaxial experimental investigation of the human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) biomechanical characteristics, concomitant values of the associated Cauchy stress, failure (ultimate) stress in AAA, and the constitutive modeling of AAA are considered. The aim of this paper is to review and compare the disposable experimental data, to reveal the reasons for the high dissipation of the results between studies, and to propound some unification criteria. We examined 22 literature sources published between 1994 and 2017 and compared their results, including our own results. The experiments in the reviewed literature have been designed to obtain the stress–strain characteristics and the failure (ultimate) stress and strain of the aneurysmal tissue. A variety of forms of the strain–energy function (SEF) have been applied in the considered studies to model the biomechanical behavior of the aneurysmal wall. The specimen condition and physical parameters, the experimental protocols, the failure stress and strain, and SEFs differ between studies, contributing to the differences between the final results. We propound some criteria and suggestions for the unification of the experiments leading to the comparable results.
