Topic of doctoral theses

Impact of properties of tissues of arterial wall with atheroma on computational modelling of their stress states

Supervisor: prof. Ing. Jiří Burša, Ph.D.
Description:
This is an actual biomechanical topic, included in the solved project of Czech Science Foundation. Assessment of vulnerability (rupture risk) of an atherosklerotic plaque in carotid artery as one of common causes of brain stroke is an issue with a significant scientific and clinical potential. Computational models of stress strain states in the artery exploit experimentally evaluated mechanical properties of individual tissues of artery wall. Impact of these properties on calculated stress values will be evaluated on the basis of own experiments, values from literature, or also structural information from histological analyses.
