A fractional derivative model to describe arterial viscoelasticity

Arterial viscoelasticity can be described with a complex modulus (E*) in the frequency domain. In arteries, E* presents a power-law response with a plateau for higher frequencies. Constitutive models based on a combination of purely elastic and viscous elements can be represented with integer order...
