Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate changes of the effective and shear stresses level on the surface of atherosclerotic plaques in comparison with the healthy vessel wall, as well as distribution of the hemodynamic forces. Two software modules were used: ANSYS CFX for simulating blood flow, and Structural (Mechanical) for simulating the stress-strain state of the walls. Geometric models of vessels were built on basis of healthy and diseased vessels casts in the CAD system Solid Works.
