Inelastic shear deformations are key to recapitulating valve morphology. a) Removal of the inelastic shear components results in reduced cross-sectional area growth compared to the full growth law. b) Without shear components the cushion does evolve in the direction of flow (dash-blue), but has limited shape change. c) Color maps of the Fry and Fyr display the large inelastic shear deformations throughout the cushion.
