Stress-strain analysis of anastomosis between artery and artificial vascular graft

This bachelor’s thesis deals with anatomy and pathology of arteries and possibilities of their replacement with vascular grafts. The first part of the thesis describes structure and mechanical properties of arterial wall. Furthemore, the biological and mechanical properties of vascular grafts and their influence of healing process are described. The second part of this thesis starts with non-linear calculation of deformation of arterial wall using generalized Hooke’s law. The analytical calculation of connection of artery and vascular graft using cylindrical momentum shell theory was made at the end of this thesis. Description of limitations of this method is also included
