From: Influence of Initial Residual Stress on Growth and Pattern Creation for a Layered Aorta
(A) Experimental protocol for measuring the three-dimensional layer-specific residual stress distribution of a human aorta (from Holzapfel et al.1); (B) The resulting non-dimensional transmural distributions of initial residual stresses in a bi-layered aged human aorta. In this paper, they are magnified by a factor \(\alpha > 0\).
