Linear propagation of pulsatile waves in viscoelastic tubes.

摘要: An experimental and theoretical analysis is made of pulsatile wave propagation in deformable latex tubes as a model the pressure pulses arteries. A quasi one-dimensional linear used which, particular, attention paid to viscous phenomena fluid tube wall. The agreement between results satisfactory. It appeared that viscoelastic behaviour wall dominates damping pulse. Several models are describe behaviour. No significant differences these were found.
