Nonlinear multi-scale anisotropic material and structural models for prosthetic and native aortic heart valves

Nonlinear multi-scale anisotropic material and structural models for prosthetic and native aortic heart valves

New 3D multi-scale modeling approaches for the structural analysis of native and prosthetic Aortic Valves (AV) are investigated. Three different nonlinear hyperelastic constitutive material models for the mechanical behavior of the AV tissue are introduced. The first is the well-known Holzapfel hyp...
