PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The overall goal of this problem-driven research is to provide a proof-of-concept strategy for implementing a nonlinear membrane based analysis for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture risk assessment that overcomes the scientific and technological limitations of a finite element analysis (FEA)-based approach. To this end, we propose to develop and apply a method for quantifying rupture potential index (RPI) that does not require knowledge of the tissue properties of the AAA wall and intraluminal thrombus, nor does it need an estimation of the unstressed AAA shape or residual stresses, and does not require an FEA solver. The proposed method is based on…
