Stress and green strain distributions of the area-reduced valves at the end of diastole in different deformation configurations (top and 45 deg tilted views). The minimum and maximum of the fringe levels were set the same for all the stress or strain distributions for the sake of comparison. Sagging and stretching of leaflets are also observed in the elliptical and D-Shape configurations. Pin-wheeling observed in circular configuration with C-ratio = 1.2.
