“…This experimental study investigated longitudinal and circumferential deformation through an aortic wall model and evaluated the stress level until rupture by uniaxial tensile testing. Compared to the porcine aortic tensile test data of the adult pig ultimate tensile strength elastic modulus (9.42 ± 3.32 MPa and 12.33 ± 2.17 MPa for longitudinal and circumferential directions) [33], the adult canine results were 3.5 ± 1.06 MPa and 1.26 ± 0.16 MPa, which indicates a 2.6 times weaker elastic modulus than that of the adult pig in the longitudinal direction and a 9.78 time weaker value in the circumferential samples directions. The failure strain value for the canine samples was 105% and 185% higher than the porcine tissue for the longitudinal and circumferential directions, respectively.…”

BACKGROUND: Understanding the mechanical properties of aortic tissue is essential for developing numerical computation tools and assessing the risk of aortic aneurysm fractures. Tensile tests using aortic wall specimens allow for the determination of stress and strain depending on the location and direction of the sample. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to perform a mechanical tensile test using canine aorta samples and create a numerical model of aortic tissue tension from the processed data. METHODS: Dogbone-shaped samples were dissected from canine aortic segments. The initial measurements were made at zero tension and the tensile tests were conducted at 10 mm/min until rupture. Force and stretch data were used to obtain engineering and true stress-strain curves. The true stress-strain curves were taken until the maximum strength was obtained, after which they were smoothed and fitted using a logistic function with three coefficients. These curves were then used as material mechanical properties for a numerical model of the aortic tissue tension. A simplified rectangle form was used to mimic the middle of the dogbone-shaped portion of the tissue specimen. Experimental displacement data were collected for the boundary conditions of the finite element 3D model. RESULTS: The experimental data processing revealed that the logistic function described the nonlinear behaviour of the aorta soft tissue with an accuracy of 95% from the start of the tension to the media layer rupture. By applying numerical simulations, we obtained a correspondence of the load curve with an RMSE = 0.069 for the theoretical and experimental external tension data. CONCLUSION: The numerical investigation confirmed that the non-linear soft tissue was validated by applying a logistic function approach to the mechanical properties of the aortic wall.
