Abstract

Data on the nonlinear and inelastic mechanical properties of the canine aorta are presented. Major differences in the properties of the aorta from those of the mesentery, the skin, the muscle, etc, are pointed out. Mathematical representations of the experimental results are given. The relaxation spectrum is analyzed.
