  1. The Young modulus (E r , E θ ), Poison ratios (G rθ ) and shear modulus (ν rθ , ν rz ) are presented for the plaque, non-diseased wall of artery, and lipid. The data are revised from Loree et al. [30] and Holzapfel et al. [18] Fibrous tissue at α = 5%, lipid at β = 20% and calcium at γ = 75% pertain to the homogenous calcification agglomerate.
