Analysis of Flow and Wall Deformation in a Stenotic Flexible Channel Containing a Soft Core, Simulating Atherosclerotic ...
Published in International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing
A novel eccentric stenotic channel was manufactured to provide an in vivo physical environment simulating an atherosclerotic artery. It was composed of an elastic wall containing a soft semi-cylindrical volume that simulated a lipid core. Wall strain and fluid shear stress distributions were computed using a finite element method incorporating flui...
