Influence of Different Shapes to the Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Bioprosthetic Heart Valve

Article Preview

Abstract:

The stress with different shapes of the same thickness of the leaflet under the same load is analysed and compared by us. We create the spherical and ellipsoidal curved surface in accordance with geometrical features. The experimental results of the finite element analysis show that stress distribution of the different bioprosthetic heart valve leaflets with the same thickness is different. This work is very helpful to manufacture reasonable shaped valvular leaflets and to prolong the lifetime of the bioprosthetic heart valve.
