This paper presents a non-contact optical method for measuring these deformation in vitro or in vivo, and the data-processing procedure for the three-dimensional coordinate reconstruction of the aorta surface. The accuracy of this method is tested with a known cylinder. This method has been used in the study of the rabbit aorta and the result shows that it is valuable in the research on the mechanical properties of the blood vessel.展开更多

Complete axial stress-strain curves were classified into four types, i.e., single peak, softening after multi-peak yield platform, hardening after multi-peak yield platform and multi-peak dur- ing softening. Observation of crack evolution on the specimen surface reveals that the deformation behavior is correlated to the closure of pre-existing joint, development of fractures in rock matrix and teeth shearing of the shear plane. To investigate the brittleness of the specimens, the ratio of the residual strength to the maximum peak strength as well as the first and last peak strains were studied. At the same joint inclination angle, the ratios between residual strength and the maximum peak strength and the last peak strains increased while the first peak strain decreased with the increase of joint continuity factor. At the same joint continuity factor, the curves of the three brittleness parameters vs. joint inclina- tion angle can either be concave or convex single-oeak or wave-shaoed.展开更多
