Fig. 5

Crack patterns in porcine and human aortic tissue subjected to symmetry-constraint Compact Tension (symconCT) tests under axial (first row) and circumferential loading (second row). (P: porcine; H: human; ax: axial loading; circ: circumferential loading; control: normal aortic tissue; col: collagenase-treated tissue, ela: elastase-treated tissue; BAV: aorta with bicuspid aortic valve; TAV: aortas with tricuspid aortic valve).
