This doctoral thesis deals with the description of the mechanical behavior of arterial walls under supra-physiological loading conditions. After a brief description of the continuum mechanical basis, the focus is first set to continuum damage mechanics (CDM) formulations for soft biological tissues. Thereby, different phenomenological damage equations are introduced yielding smooth and non-smooth material tangent moduli at the induction of initial damage, respectively. The performance of the latter formulations is investigated in numerical calculations of inhomogeneous boundary value problems. Afterwards, a micromechanically motivated damage approach for arterial tissues is derived in the CDM framework, taking into account statistically dis...
