Abstract
The major characteristics of the mechanical properties of strips of the common and internal carotid arteries, anterior and posterior segments of the abdominal aorta wall, the common iliac and femoral arteries, and a large subcutaneous vein in man were experimentally determined. A comparison was carried out of the strength and deformative properties of these vessels, and a correlational analysis of the major indices of the mechanical properties was undertaken.
