Arterial dynamics based on the model of a multilayered shell with fluid flow

The dynamic process in a blood vessel segment of finite length is investigated. The vessel is assumed to be a multilayer cylindrical shell consisting of a large number of alternating layers, each of which possesses anisotropic elastic properties. Geometric nonlinearity is taken into account. The blood is assumed to be an ideal compressible fluid. A numerical solution has been obtained using a computer.
