A uni-extension study on the ultimate material strength and extreme extensibility of atherosclerotic tissue in human carotid plaques
Atherosclerotic plaque rupture occurs when mechanical loading exceeds its material strength. Mechanical analysis has been shown to be complementary to the morphology and composition for assessing vulnerability. However, strength and stretch thresholds for mechanics-based assessment are currently lac...
