Abstract
A random noise technique was used to measure the circumferential and longitudinal dynamic elasticity of human common iliac arteries in vitro. For circumferential measurements the frequency ranged from 0.016 to 20 Hz; the phase lag of diameter behind pressure was found to be almost constant (about 5°) and the Young's modulus of elasticity to increase rapidly at first and then more gradually beyond 1–2 Hz. Somewhat similar results were obtained for longitudinal elasticity. Arterial segments were found to be anisotropic when kept at in vivo length and under normal distending pressure.
