Design of a Mechanical Model for Pulsatile Aortic Flow

The diameter of the human abdominal aorta in non-aneurysmatic subjects varies according to gender. In studies of subjects older than 50 years the mean ulrasound diameter of the infrarenal abdominal aorta ranges from 12 to 19 mm in women and from 14 to 21 mm in men [J.L. Cronenwett et al., 1985]. ................
