Plots of Reflection Coefficient as a function of Area Ratio for four different values of trunk artery diameter (a α = 8, trunk diameter = 10 mm. b α = 4, trunk diameter = 5 mm. c α = 2, trunk diameter = 2.5 mm. d α = 0.8, trunk diameter = 1 mm. In each of the four graphs above there are three different plots of stiffness ratio shown: (SR = 1.1—solid line; SR = 1.0—short dashes; SR = 0.9—long dashes). The arrows indicate the point at which area ratio AR = 1.26
