Effects of Hysteresis on the Dynamic Deformation of Artificial Polymeric Heart Valve
The deformation behavior of an artificial heart valve was analyzed using the explicit dynamic finite element method. Time variations of the left ventricle and the aortic pressure were considered as the mechanical boundary conditions in order to reproduce the opening and closing movements of the valv...
