Mucosal folding in biologic vessels

A two-layer model is used to simulate the mechanical behavior of an airway or other biological vessel under external compressive stress or smooth muscle constriction sufficient to cause longitudinal mucosal buckling. Analytic andfinite element numerical methods are used to examine the onset of buckl...
