Modeling the arterial wall mechanics using a novel high-order viscoelastic fractional element

The results obtained show that the proposed method properly determines the mechanical parameters even in presence of noise in the data. In addition, it is evident from the results that the proposed modification of the spring-pot element increases the accuracy of the FVMs models. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the FVMs can model better the behavior of complex materials when a HOSP element is included. In particular, it was shown that these models are appropriate for modeling the arterial wall mechanics with higher accuracy, as well as other materials with complex behavior.
