GRADIENT THEORY OF PULSATILE BLOOD FLOW IN THE FEMORAL ARTERY OF A DOG

This theory is applied to a pulsatile Blood flow in an artery of a dog based on an axiomatic conception of a non-local continuum theory for materials of grade 2. The total stress tensor of rank two in the equation of linear momentum contains two higher stress tensors of rank two and three. In isotropic materials both the tensor of rank two and three are tensor-valued functions of the second order strain rate tensor and its first gradient so that the equation of motion is of order four. The boundary conditions for dissipative boundaries are generated by porosity tensors.
