Analysis of the Formation of an Aneurysm in Arteries Through Finite Element Modeling Using Hyper-Elastic Model

This paper presents the stress patterns and deformation in an artery with an aneurysm under a variation of pressure. An aneurysm occurs when a weak portion of artery wall bulges out under pressure. To make a proper treatment decision, one must understand the formation and growth of the condition. In this article, finite element analysis of the formation of fusiform aneurysms in arteries is presented using the hyperelastic material model by employing ANSYS. We present the effect of different blood pressures in the deformation of the weakened arterial wall and also compare it with a normal artery. This work can be used as a reference for research in this area.
