| Abstract |
The asymptotic methods of shell theory are used to study the
propagation of axisymmetric waves in blood vessels of constant cross-section. The initial equations are simplified using the assumption that the shell radius is small compared with the wave length. We show that the terms corresponding to the shell inertia cannot be omitted if it is required to describe not only the pressure wave but also the longitudinal wave. We study the influence of external fixation on the pressure wave. In this case, we compare the following two models: in the first model, the ambient medium is modelled by elastic and damping elements uniformly distributed over the shell exterior surface and by additional masses; in the second model, the ambient medium is represented by an infinite elastic space with a cylindrical cavity where the vessel is placed. On the interface between the elastic space and the vessel, we pose the full contact conditions. We show that, from the qualitative standpoint, both models lead to the same result: the pressure wave in the first approximation is a wave in the shell whose walls cannot move in the longitudinal direction. We asymptotically integrate the original equations and hence obtain a one-dimensional equation for the bulk blood flow. |
