Modeling the Circulatory System under Biodynamic Loads,
Abstract
The model developed here was based on the dynamic viscoelastic properties of the components of the cardiovascular system. The model parameters are functions of time and are valid for a wide range of strains. From some limited kinds of behavior numerical values for model parameters can be obtained from data on intact portions of a human cardiovascular system. Almost all behavior can be clarified with this model which, therefore, serves as a valuable teaching aid and as a basis for evaluating the qualitative results to be expected from management of changes induced by large dynamic loads, like impact.
