Abstract(s)
This work presents the numerical assessment of the deformation of an artery wall with and
without an aneurism. The simulations consider the hyper-elastic behaviour of the artery
tissues, taken in consideration the properties of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which are
more similar to the biological tissues. The numerical simulations were performed using the
commercial finite element routines ANSYS®, by considering the inner the artery fluid flow
and the consequent pressure is used to simulate the wall deformation.
