Figure 2From: In vivo MRI-based simulation of fatigue process: a possible trigger for human carotid atherosclerotic plaque ruptureBand plot of Von Mises stress and fatigue initiation and crack propagation. (A &B): stress band plots at diastole and systole, respectively; (C): fatigue initiation at the vulnerable site (marked by arrow); and (D) crack propagation at the 7th numerical step.Back to article page
