Analog studies of the human systemic arterial tree.

TLDR
The performance of this electrical model is compared extensively to its real counterpart in the following areas: magnitude and phase of input impedances, wave travel along the aorta, and wave shapes of pressures and flows at different locations.

The arterial Windkessel

TL;DR: Characteristic impedance was introduced as a third element of the Windkessel model, a lumped model not suitable for the assessment of spatially distributed phenomena and aspects of wave travel, but it is a simple and fairly accurate approximation of ventricular afterload.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical simulation and experimental validation of blood flow in arteries with structured-tree outflow conditions.

TL;DR: Comparison between the simulations and magnetic resonance measurements in the ascending aorta and nine peripheral locations in one individual shows excellent agreement between the two.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validation of a one-dimensional model of the systemic arterial tree.

TL;DR: This study constitutes a first validation of the complete one-dimensional model using human pressure and flow data and supports the applicability of the 1-D model in the human circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computer simulation of arterial flow with applications to arterial and aortic stenoses.

TL;DR: Comparison with the published experimental data suggests that the model is capable of simulating arterial flow under normal flow conditions as well as conditions of stenotic obstructions in a satisfactory manner.

Alterations with Age in the Viscoelastic Properties of Human Arterial Walls

TL;DR: The circumferential incremental Young's modulus was measured in 59 major arteries of both “young” and “old” subjects and it was apparent that at all sites the arterial wall tissue became weaker with age.

An Elastic Tube Theory of Pulse Transmission and Oscillatory Flow in Mammalian Arteries

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed the concept of a thin walled elastic tube as a rough working model of an artery, and from a solution of the equations of motion of such a tube, filled with viscous liquid, a number of relationships are deduced that can be tested experimentally.
