Abstract

Results from isolated blood vessel studies show a graded physiologic response to a mechanical stretch injury. The measured response shows a developed force post injury ranging from 2 to 7 grams. This corresponds to a decrease in diameter of approximately 7- 12%. An appropriately scaled materials testing device has been developed. A series of experiments involving dynamic elongation of fluid an air filled elastic tubes have been conducted and the results are presented.
