    On Eulerian Constitutive Equations for Modeling Growth and Residual Stresses in Arteries

    K.Y. Volokh1

    Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics, Vol.2, No.2, pp. 77-86, 2005, DOI:10.3970/mcb.2005.002.077

    Abstract Recently Volokh and Lev (2005) argued that residual stresses could appear in growing arteries because of the arterial anisotropy. This conclusion emerged from a continuum mechanics theory of growth of soft biological tissues proposed by the authors. This theory included Lagrangian constitutive equations, which were formulated directly with respect to the reference configuration. Alternatively, it is possible to formulate Eulerian constitutive equations with respect to the current configuration and to 'pull them back' to the reference configuration. Such possibility is examined in the present work. The Eulerian formulation of the constitutive equations is used for… More >
