NURBS modeling and structural shape optimization of cardiovascular stents
Cardiovascular stents have been used since the 1990s to treat atherosclerosis, one of leading causes of death in the western world, and structural optimization has led to significant improvements in stent performance. Much of the potential variation in stent geometry, however, has remained unconside...
