Original abstract

Structure-based constitutive models of arterial wall are important in biomechanical analyses. The most common models assume two symmetric fibre families, either perfectly aligned or dispersed [1], [2]. This assumption is seldom confirmed by histological analyses and the bimodal distribution of fibres may come from fibre waviness and from ignoring the differences between local and global orientations. This study applies automated polarized light microscopy for detecting the collagen fibre directions in porcine aorta under different types of biaxial extension eliminating the effect of waviness.
