A three-dimensional stress-strain relationship derived from a strain energy function of the exponential form is proposed for the arterial wall. The material constants are identified from experimental data on rabbit arteries subjected to inflation and longitudinal stretch in the physiological range. The objectives are: 1) to show that such a procedure is feasible and practical, and 2) to call attention to the very large variations in stresses and strains across the vessel wall under the assumptions that the tissue is incompressible and stress-free when all external load is removed.


The type of deformation under investigation is indicated by fig. 1. A rectangular plate ABCD is deformed into the shape A'B'C'D'. The two opposing edges AB, CD are shifted horizontally without alteration of length into the position A'B', C'D', the other boundaries AD, BC being kept free from external stress. In a paper which appeared in the 'Proc. Royal Society', December 28, 1911, Prof. E. G. Coker investigated this same type of deformation using optical methods to determine the distribution of stress along the centre line OX. He found that if the plate was square the shear stress along OX was distributed in a munner which was approximately parabolic. As the ratio of AD to AB decreased the curve of distribution first of all became flat-topped, and for yet smaller ratios two distinct humps made their appearance.

1. Introduction and summary. The problem of the elastic stability of a simply supported rectangular plate, compressed by two equal and opposite forces acting in the plane of the plate (see Fig. 1), was first attempted by A. Sommerfeld, and later by S. Timoshenko. The former produced a solution which in a later paper he admitted to be liable to very considerable error, while the latter constructed a solution by means of the well-known strain-energy method. In many problems this method gives results in very close agreement with those obtained in a more rigorous manner, but, in the particular case considered here, it appeared likely that the error would be appreciable owing to the underlying assumption that the only stresses in the plate occurred along the common line of action of the two external forces.

The Griffith theory for unstable crack length is modified to take into account the effect of residual (self-equilibrating) stresses. An expression relating the uniform stress, physical properties of the material, critical crack length, and the equilibrating strain energy is derived for a general stress distribution. This expression is used to develop a criterion for spontaneous cracking due to residual stresses alone. A specific numerical example for a parabolic residual-stress distribution in a glass plate is carried out in some detail.
