Numerical investigation on effect of leaflet thickness on structural stresses developed in a bileaflet mechanical heart valve for its sustainable manufacturing
Flow induced structural stresses can cause mechanical prosthetic aortic valve to fail due to yielding. In this study, we have performed the structural analysis, especially the effect of leaflet thickness on equivalent stresses developed in a Bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) due to blood flow...
