Figure 2From: Impact of poroelasticity of intraluminal thrombus on wall stress of abdominal aortic aneurysms Illustration of the pressure wave p b (x,t) applied to mimic in-vivo loading of the AAA. The grid size of 100 mm reflects the axial dimension of the investigated AAA. The mean pressure of the prescribed pressure wave is defined by p MEAN = 1 T ∫ p d t = 12.2 kPa , with T = 1 s denoting the time of the cardiac cycle.Back to article page
