Improving the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases relies on a better understanding of arterial biomechanics. In particular, the mechanical response of these tissues is highly dependent on the configuration of their microstructure. The objective of this doctoral work is on the one hand to characterize experimentally the arrangement of the different constituents within the microstructure of the artery during loading; and secondly to develop a micromechanical model capable of predicting (i) the change in morphology of fibrous networks; and (ii) the consequences of these morphological changes on the macroscopic mechanical response. To this aim, arterial samples were subjected to uniaxial and biaxial loadings while observing their...
