This paper constructs four types of bioprosthetic heart valve’s parametric model via computer aided design, a series of accurate parameters of the bioprosthetic heart valve, such as radius of the sutural ring, height of the supporting stent and inclination of the supporting stent are determined. The finite element method is used to analyze the mechanical properties of the bioprosthetic heart valve in which geometric non-linearity and material non-linearity are all taken into account. The finite element analysis results show that the shape of the bioprosthetic has a significant effect on the mechanical performance of the valve. The stress distribution of ellipsoidal valve leaflets is comparatively reasonable. It has lower peak von-Mises, smaller stress concentration area than the other three types of valve leaflets. This work is very helpful to manufacture valvular leaflets with reasonable shapes and to prolong the lifetime of the bioprosthetic heart valve.

In order to investigate the effect of suture density on the dynamic behavior of bioprosthetic heart valve, we establish the spherical leaflets models via computer aided design. Based on the parametric models of the heart valve, four kinds of suture density is analyzed and finite element analysis is used to simulate the mechanical performance of bioprosthetic heart valve. The results show that the stress distributions of the spherical valve leaflets with different suture density is quite different and the peak von-Mises with 50 suture points is lower than the other three kinds of suture density. From the whole loading process, we can find that the spherical valve leaflet with 50 suture points has better dynamic properties. This work is very helpful when manufacuturing the bioprosthetic heart valve,thus to prolong the lifetime of the bioprosthetic heart valve.

This paper constructs the parametric model of the spherical heart valve via computer aided design, a series of accurate parameters of the bioprosthetic heart valve, such as the radius of the sutural ring, height of the supporting stent and inclination of the supporting stent are determined. The finite element method is used to determine the effect of the suture density on the dynamic properties of the bioprosthetic heart valve. The finite element analysis results show that the suture has a significant effect on the dynamic properties of the leaflets. The peak stress with different suture density is quite different and the stress distribution with higher suture density is more reasonable than that with lower suture density. In addition, the suture density has more effect at the top of the attachment edge than the other parts of the valve leaflets. This work is very helpful to manufacture the bioprosthetic heart valve with long term durability.

The paper constructs one type of bioprosthetic valve leaflets’ parametric model via computer aided design, a series of accurate parameters of the bioproshtetic heart valve, such as radius of the sutural ring, height of the supporting stent and inclination of the supporting stent, are determined. Numerical simulation is used to determine the effect of one shape design on the mechanical performance of the bioprosthetic valve leaflet. The stress with a shape under the same load is analysed and the thickness of the leaflets 0.5mm and 0.6mm is compared by us. We creat a ellipsoidal surface in accordance with geometrical features. The experimental results of the finite element analysis show that stress distribution of the same bioprosthetic heart valve leaflets with different thickness is different. The maximal primary stress with the thickness of 0.5mm is lower than the others. This work is very helpful to manufacture reasonable shaped valvular leaflets and to prolong the lifetime of the bioprosthetic heart valve.

In order to investigate the effect of suture density on the dynamic behavior of bioprosthetic heart valve with nonlinear material and improve long term durability of bioprosthetic heart valve, we establish the ellipsoidal leaflets and paraboloidal leaflets models via computer aided design. Based on the parametric models of the heart valve, four kinds of suture density (100,70,50 and 35 suture points on the attachment edge of the bioprosthetic heart valve) are analyzed by using finite element method. The finite element analysis results are compared with each valve model. It shows that suture density has a significant effect on the dynamic behavior of the bioprosthetic heart valve, which lead to different stress peak values, different stress distributions and deformation. The finite element analysis of the BHV could provide direct and useful information for the BHV designer.

In order to investigate the effect of the suture density on the mechanical properties of bioprosthetic heart valve, we establish the spherical leaflets models via computer aided design. Finite element analysis is used simulate the mechanical performance of bioprosthetic heart valve when leaflet is closed. The analysis results show that suture density has a significant effect to the stress state of valve, which may lead not only to different stress peak values, but also to different stress distributions. High or low density suture isn’t appropriate for long-term durability of the bioprosthetic heart valve. Suture density tests are needed to perform on the valves to find satisfactory suture density for better mechanical properties of the bioprosthetic heart valve.

This paper constructs three types of bioprosthetic valve leaflets’ parametric model via computer aided design, a series of accurate parameters of the bioproshtetic heart valve, such as radius of the sutural ring, height of the supporting stent and inclination of the supporting stent, are determined. Numerical simulation is used to determine the effect of different shape designs on the mechanical performance of the bioprosthetic valve leaflet. The dynamic behavior of the valve during diastolic phase is analyzed. The finite element analysis results show the stress distribution of the ellipsoidal and spherical valve leaflets are comparatively reasonable. The ellipsoidal and spherical valve leaflets have the following advantages over the cylindrical leaflet valve, lower peak von-Mises stress, smaller stress concentration area, and relatively uniform stress distribution. The ellipsoidal and spherical valve leaflets may contribute to the long term durability of the valve. This work is very helpful to manufacture valvular leaflets with reasonable shapes and to prolong the lifetime of the bioprosthetic heart valve.

This study is to prolong the life of bioprosthetic heart valve. Bioprosthetic heart valve numerical models are established via computer aided design. Stress distribution of bioprosthetic heart valve leaflets with different suture densities are analyzed based on finite element method. The results show that suture density has a significant effect on the dynamic behavior of the bioprosthetic heart valve, which lead to different stress peak values, different stress distributions and deformation. The stress distributions of the cylindrical valve leaflets with different suture density is quite different and the peak von-Mises with 50 suture points is lower than the other three kinds of suture density. This work can be very helpful when manufacturing the bioprosthetic heart valve.

FEA is used in this research to describe the stress distribution of a seizure on a piston four stroke engine. Computer-aided design (CAD) software is used to do the finite element analysis. The major goal is to explore and analyse the thermal stress distribution of the piston during the combustion process in a real engine. The mesh optimization is described in this study, which uses a finite element analysis technique to anticipate the component's greater stress and critical region. The piston's upper end, which includes the piston head/crown, as well as the piston skirt and sleeve, is optimised to reduce stress concentration. The structural model of a piston will be developed using computer-aided design (CAD) and Pro/ENGINEER software. Furthermore, the finite element analysis was carried out with the ANSYS software.

This paper constructs the bioprosthetic valve leaflets’ parametric model via computer aided design, a series of accurate parameters of the bioproshtetic heart valve, such as such as radius of the sutural ring, height of the supporting stent and inclination of the supporting stent, are determined. Numerical simulation is used to determine the effect of different shape designs and attachment edge fixed ways on the mechanical performance of the bioprosthetic valve leaflet. The dynamic behavior of the valve during diastolic phase is analyzed. The finite element analysis results show that the stress distribution of the ellipsoidal leaflet valve is comparatively reasonable. The ellipsoidal leaflet valve has the following advantages over the cylindrical leaflet valve, lower peak von Mises-stress, smaller stress concentration area, and relatively uniform stress distribution. The different ways of the attachment edge fixed also have a significant effect on the dynamic behavior of the valve. Attachment edge with some degrees of rotation when seamed to the stent can act to reduce the pressure and make the stress distribution reasonable. Reasonable attachment edge fixation may contribute to the long term durability of the valve. This indicates the need to account for the attachment edge seamed way, when manufacturing the bioproshetic heart valve with long term durability. This work is very helpful to manufacture valvular leaflets with reasonable shapes and to prolong the lifetime of the bioprosthetic heart valve.
