Abstract The conventional theories for circulation of arteries are emphasized on fluid behavior or some simplified models for experimental utility. In this study, a new mathematical theory is proposed to describe the wave propagation through the elastic tube filled with viscous and incompressible fluid. The radial, longitudinal and flexural vibrations of a tube wall are introduced simultaneously. Meanwhile, the linearlized momentum and continuity equations of tube flow field are expressed in the integral form. Based on these considerations, three wave modes are obtained simultaneously. These wave modes are the flexural, Young and Lamb modes, respectively. The… More >
