Abstract

Using finite element method, this paper has analyzed the blood-mechanical heart valve interaction system subjected to a step pressure when the value is, at closing position. As demonstrated in the present study, in, such conditions mechanical values made of pyrolytic carbon, Ti alloy, Co-Cr alloy and ceramics tend to be very stiff which result in high impinging pressure. The impinging pressure acted on the value of the blood-valve system can be reduced by decreasing the elastic modulus of the mechanical value.
