Non-negligible postinterventional complication rates after endovascular aneurysm repair
(EVAR) leave room for further improvements. Since the potential success of EVAR depends …

The 3-D morphology of chicken articular cartilage was quantified using multiphoton
microscopy (MPM) for use in continuum-mechanical modeling. To motivate this …

Purpose: To examine the solid mechanical effects of varying stent design and
atherosclerotic plaque stiffness on the biomechanical environment induced in a diseased …

An active structure of a morphing wing designed for subsonic cruise flight conditions is
composed of three principal subsystems:(1) flexible extrados,(2) rigid intrados, and (3) an …

A thorough understanding of the diseased tissue state is necessary for the successful
treatment of a blocked arterial vessel using stent angioplasty. The constitutive representation …

The unsteady non-Newtonian blood flow in symmetric stenotic arteries is numerically
simulated considering fluid–structure interaction (FSI) using the code ADINA. A two layer …

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive off-pump procedure to
replace diseased aortic heart valves. Known complications include paravalvular leaks …

Motivated by the search for new strategies for fitting a material model, a new approach is
explored in the present work. The use of numerical and complex algorithms based on …

Vascular stents are expanded in blood vessels with lumens larger than their cardiac
counterparts. Extreme radial expansion significantly reduces the expanded length of some …

Finite element analysis is nowadays a well‐assessed technique to investigate the impact of
stenting on vessel wall and, given the rapid progression of both medical imaging techniques …
