Effects of Arterial Tissue Storage and Burst Failure on Residual Stress Relaxation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study examines how the relaxation of circumferential residual stress in the aortic tissue is altered with degradation of the tissue with in-vitro storage or circumferential expansion until failure. Results show that both treatments attenuate the effects of residual stress relaxation as assessed by opening angle. Possible reasons for such alteration are discussed considering the mechanical and structural factors.

Effects of Atorvastatin on the Hypertension-Induced Oxidative Stress in the Rat Brain
Background: It is well known that the development of brain oxidative stress is one of the most serious complications of arterial hypertension that evokes brain tissue damage. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of atorvastatin treatment (20 mg/kg/day), as an antioxidant, to prevent the brain tissue oxidative stress in the hypertensive (HTN) rats. Methods: Experiments were performed...
متن کاملTransient Two-Dimensional (r-z) Cyclic Charging/Discharging Analysis of Space Thermal Energy Storage Systems (RESEARCH NOTE)
A two-dimensional transient axi-symmetric model was developed to study the effects of various thermal and geometric parameters on cyclic heating and cooling modes of a phase-change thermal energy storage system. The high-temperature thermal energy storage device utilizes LiH for heat sink applications to store the waste heat generated during power-burst periods. The stored heat is then discharg...
متن کاملEffect of Residual Stress on Failure of Tube-to-tubesheet Weld in Heat Exchangers
In a shell and tube heat exchanger, the failure of tube-to-tubesheet welds results in high-pressure water jet which erodes the refractory in front of the tubesheet. Finite element method was employed to simulate the welding process and post weld heat treatment (PWHT) to find the factors affecting the failure in tube-to-tubesheet weldments. Residual stresses in two different geometries of tube-t...

The purpose of the work presented here was to investigate endotheliumdependent relaxations in the rabbit coronary ligation model of heart failure. We investigated endothelium-dependent relaxations at the level of larger vessels (thoracic aorta and vena cava left renal artery and left renal vein lateral saphenous artery and lateral saphenous vein and finally central ear artery and marginal e...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of Zataria multiflora and Eucalyptus globolus essential oils on some haematological parameters and respiratory burst activity in common carp (Cyprinus carpio). 260 fish (30±5g) were randomly distributed in 13 treatment groups each one in three replicates and different doses of essential oils in 16-17ºC were administrated. The fish were...
