We present some results concerning the modelling of growth phenomena in an artery section. In particular, we focus the attention on the role of the outer accretive forces, describing the mechanical feedback from the biochemical control system, in the remodelling process. We view such forces as the control parameters of the evolution of the relaxed state of the body and prescribe them constitutively in such a way that the evolution process tend to a well-dened limit (the so-called homeostatic conguration of the body)

Abstract
We present some results concerning the modelling of growth phenomena in an artery section. In particular, we focus the attention on the role of the outer accretive forces, describing the mechanical feedback from the biochemical control system, in the remodelling process. We view such forces as the control parameters of the evolution of the relaxed state of the body and prescribe them constitutively in such a way that the evolution process tend to a well-dened limit (the so-called homeostatic conguration of the body)I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
