Table 1.

Comparison of maximum flow maximum shear stress (FMSS) and velocity values from Model 1 (with bending) and Model 2 (no bending) shows that cyclic bending has modest effects (<15%) on flow velocity and maximum shear stress.

Cases	Max Velocity	Max FMSS	Max Velocity	Max FMSS	Max Velocity	Max FMSS
Model 1	κ=0.39 1/cm, Pin=101		κ=0.78 1/cm, Pin=130		κ=0.97 1/cm, Pin=86
Baseline	98.7	147.5	133.6	236.1	69.5	127.5
Model 2	κ=0, Pin=101		κ=0, Pin=130		κ=0, Pin=86
No Bending	99.1	140.9	135.1	195.7	76.3	108.4
