AbstractPURPOSE: Through their contractile and synthetic capacity, vascular smooth muscle cells play a key role in regulating the stiffness and resistance of the circulation. To model the contraction of blood vessels, an active stress component can be added to the (passive) Cauchy stress tensor. Different constitutive formulations have been proposed to describe this active stress component.
