Abstract

This paper describes an experimental system designed to perform theoretically-motivated experiments on saccular aneurysms. It discusses data from various tests on rubber membranes that were used to validate both the theory and experimental system. It is shown that response functions can be determined directly from data collected during finite, quasi-static, axisymmetric, membrane inflation tests. Given appropriate changes in the optics, data from specimens of the size of human lesions could be collected with the same accuracy as data from larger specimens.
