Abstract

The aim of the work was a comparison of the possibility of using the hyperelastic material models to predict the mechanical behavior of a pig’s aorta in uniaxial tensile test conducted in vitro conditions. The isolated ascending and descending aortas were taken. The experimental curves were collected and used in the fitting procedure of three hyperelastic material models. The Mooney–Rivlin’s, the Ogden’s and the Yeoh’s models were applied. Two different approaches to a modeling procedure were used: 1—models were fitted to tensile data for all tested specimens of pig’s aorta and coefficients of models were averaged, with standard deviation parameter; 2—on the base of registered tensile curves, one average stress-stretch curve was determined and then hyperelastic material models were fitted, with registration of error fitting (\(R^{2}\)). The influence of the orientation of samples taken (longitudinal and transversal) to the central line of blood vessels on values of material parameters was estimated.
