Carotid arterial plaque stress analysis using fluid–structure interactive simulation based on in-vivo magnetic resonance images of four patients
The rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is known to be associated with the stresses that act
on or within the arterial wall. The extreme wall tensile stress (WTS) is usually recognized as …

A computational fluid–structure interaction study for carotids with different atherosclerotic plaques
Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that leads to accumulation of deposits, known as
atherosclerotic plaques, within the walls of the carotids. In particular, three types of plaque …
