Abstract: | Conclusions 1. It was experimentally established that upon the monoxial stretching of individual layers of the abdominal aorta, the tensile strength and tangential elasticity modulus upon breakage are higher in the atherosclerotic layer. The deformative properties are higher in the uninjured layer.2. With increasing age, the capacity for deformation and the tensile strength of both layers of the wall of the abdominal aorta decrease.3. The technique developed for determining the resistance to separation into layers of the wall of the abdominal aorta indicates that the bonding strength of the layers of the aorta depends on the stage of atherosclerosis and increases with advancing stages of the atherosclerotic process.Report presented at the Third All-Union Conference on Polymer Mechanics, Riga, November 10–12, 1976.N.
