This study, titled ' State-space formulations to understand the nonlinear viscoelastic mechanical behavior of tricuspid valve chordae tendineae," investigates the complex mechanical behavior of tricuspid valve chordae tendineae using state-space representations of nonlinear viscoelastic models. By capturing time-dependent and nonlinear stress-strain relationships, the authors provide a framework for simulating chordae dynamics under physiological loading. This...
Their study, titled " ValveFit : An analysis-suitable B-spline-based surface fitting framework for patient-specific modeling of tricuspid valves," introduces ValveFit, a computational framework designed to generate smooth, analysis-ready B-spline surfaces for modeling tricuspid heart valves. The method enables accurate, patient-specific reconstructions from imaging data, improving the fidelity of biomechanical simulations used in clinical assessments. By...
