TL;DR: A constrained mixture model of evolving thin-walled, fusiform aneurysms is presented and the results show that this type of approach has the capability to infer potential means by which lesions enlarge and whether such changes are likely to produce a stable or unstable process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a method for exploiting the typically small deformations experienced by arteries during the cardiac cycle while retaining essential features of the complex nonlinear, anisotropic behavior of the wall relative to unloaded configurations.

TL;DR: A new computational framework is presented that brings together recent advances in computational biosolid and biofluid mechanics that can exploit new information on the biology of vascular growth and remodeling as well as in vivo patient-specific medical imaging so as to enable realistic simulations of vascular adaptations, disease progression, and clinical intervention.

TL;DR: The goal herein is to show explicitly how altered smooth muscle contractility and matrix growth and remodelling work together to adapt the geometry, structure, stiffness and function of a representative basilar artery.

TL;DR: In this paper, the balance laws of a single continuum with mass diffusion overcomes the difficulties inherent in the theory of mixtures in specifying boundary conditions, and a natural boundary condition based upon the continuity of the chemical potential is derived by the use of a variational approach, based on maximizing the rate of dissipation.
