Wall (A) and individual-layer (B intima; C media; D adventitia) Cauchy stress–stretch relationships of the three pig thoracic aortas (I, II, III) included in this study. Solid and dashed lines indicate uniaxial tests in the circumferential (circ.) and axial directions, respectively. Each curve was obtained by averaging the sample behaviour obtained in the two tests executed for each loading direction
