Windkessel effect is a term used in medicine to account for the shape of the arterial blood pressure waveform in terms of the interaction between the stroke volume and the compliance of the aorta and large elastic arteries windkessel vessels and the resistance of the smaller arteries and arterioles. This paper will briefly describe three windkessel models and demonstrate the use of the mlab mathematical modelling computer program in solving windkessel model differential equations, estimating values of windkessel model parameters from laboratory data, comparing differential equation models, and generating graphs that can be displayed on. The purpose of making it similar to human hand is to achieve a high level of flexibility, needed for the new flexible manufacturing. Factors effecting the windkessel effect becomes diminished as the elastic arteries become less compliant by pathology, physiology or congenitally.
