Circumferential Wall Stress vs. time, for Womersley Number α = 20

Caption

Circumferential wall stress vs. time, for Womersley number α = 20. The left figure (a) corresponds to the matched asymptotic expansions solution. The right figure (b) corresponds to the single solution and shows when during the cardiac cycle the stress becomes zero or changes direction at an angle θ = π/2 on the arterial wall.
