Growth and Remodeling at Arterial Layers

This work describes a new method to model growth & remodelling (G&R) of the 3D arterial wall. The formulation describes all changes at the in vivo configuration. Each constituent (i.e. collagen, smooth muscle cells, and elastin) has its own stress free configuration but is constrained to deform with mixture. Illustrative results are shown for hypertensive remodeling and responses to flow.
