چکیده

−− Arterial viscoelasticity can be described using stress-relaxation experiments. To fit these curves, models with springs and dashpots, based on differential equations, were widely studied. However, uniaxial tests in arteries show particular shapes with an initial steep decay and a slow asymptotic relaxation. Recently, fractional order derivatives were used to conceive a new component called spring-pot that interpolates between pure elastic and viscous behaviors. In this work we modified a standard linear solid model replacing a dashpot with a spring-pot of order α. We tested the fractional model in human arterial segments. Results showed an accurate relaxation response during 1-hour with least squares errors below 1%. Fractional orders α were 0.2-0.4, justifying the extra parameter. Moreover, the adapted parameters allowed us to predict frequency responses that were similar to reported Complex Elastic Moduli in arteries. Our results indicate that fractional models should be considered as real alternatives to model arterial viscoelasticity.

Fractional-order viscoelasticity applied to describe uniaxial stress relaxation of human arteries.

Viscoelastic models can be used to better understand arterial wall mechanics in physiological and pathological conditions. The arterial wall reveals very slow time-dependent decays in uniaxial stress-relaxation experiments, coherent with weak power-law functions. Quasi-linear viscoelastic (QLV) theory was successfully applied to modeling such responses, but an accurate estimation of the reduced...
