To simplify the stress-strain relationship of blood vessels, we define a logarithmic-exponential (log-exp) strain measure to absorb the nonlinearity. As a result, the constitutive relation between the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress and the log-exp strain can be written as a generalized Hooke's law. In this work, the shear modulus of porcine coronary arteries is determined from the experimental data in inflation-stretch-torsion tests. It is found that the shear modulus with respect to the log-exp strain can be viewed as a material constant in the full range of elasticity, and the incremental shear modulus for Cauchy shear stress and small shear strain at various loading levels can be predicted by the proposed Hooke's law. This result further validates the linear constitutive relation for blood vessels when shear deformation is involved.
