Numerical Characterization of a Hyperelastic Material to Shear Stress Chapter uri icon

abstract

  • In last years, some studies have been proved that there is an association between the wall shear stress with intracranial aneurysm rupture, however, is very difficult to understand the mechanical tissue behaviour when subjected to shear stresses. In this work, it is implemented numerical simulations to characterise the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) material when it is subjected to a shear solicitation. For this, it was initially necessary to perform some experimental tests to characterize the mechanical behaviour of the material. Based on these results, several numerical simulations were performed with the most common constitutive models in the simulation of hyperelastic materials by varying numerical factors and parameters of the numerical models.
