Load transition processes in the AAA model AAA70 due to cycling blood pressure. The analysis considers apparent permeabilities of $k^F={10}^{-13}{\text{m}}^4{\text{N}}^{-1}{\text{s}}^{-1}$ (top row; steady-state solution not reached), $k^F={10}^{-12}{\text{m}}^4{\text{N}}^{-1}{\text{s}}^{-1}$ (middle row) and $k^F={10}^{-11}{\text{m}}^4{\text{N}}^{-1}{\text{s}}^{-1}$ (bottom row) of the ILT. Left column: Evolution in time of the first principal Cauchy stresses in the luminal, medial and abluminal layers of the ILT (legend is valid for all graphs). Right column: Evolution in time of the pore pressure in the luminal, medial and abluminal layers of the ILT.
