Constitutive modelling of arteries
TL;DR: In this article, a review article is concerned with the mathematical modelling of the mechanical properties of the soft biological tissues that constitute the walls of arteries, focusing primarily on developments over the last decade based on the theory of deformation invariants, in particular invariants that capture structural aspects of the tissue, specifically the orientation of collagen fibres, the dispersion in the orientation, and the associated anisotropy of the material properties.

A new constitutive framework for arterial wall mechanics and a comparative study of material models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a constitutive law for the description of the (passive) mechanical response of arterial tissue, where the artery is modeled as a thick-walled nonlinearly elastic circular cylindrical tube consisting of two layers corresponding to the media and adventitia.
