The relationship between the mechanical properties of a fibrous polyurethane arterial prosthesis and the graft manufacturing process variables was studied from uniaxial tensile tests. A non-linear model was used to characterize the cylindrical elastic properties. Experiments on cylindrical segments were carried out to determine the constitutive constants and to assess the applicability of the model to the polyurethane graft. The compliance of 4 mm internal diameter grafts with various wall-thicknesses was predicted. The results were used to produce grafts with compliance matched to that of the carotid and femoral arteries.
通过单轴拉伸试验研究了纤维状聚氨酯动脉假体的力学性能与移植物制造工艺变量之间的关系。使用非线性模型来表征圆柱形的弹性特性。对圆柱形节段进行实验以确定本构常数，并评估该模型对聚氨酯移植物的适用性。预测了不同壁厚的内径为4mm移植物的顺应性。结果被用于制造顺应性与颈动脉和股动脉相匹配的移植物。
