(a) Copy and rotated top-down view of leaflet with 30mmHg pressure (b) Contact surface (in blue) of leaflet with 30mmHg. (c) Superimposed deformed shapes of leaflet under 10 mmHg and 30 mmHg pressures for orthotropic ES-PEUU leaflet (d) Superimposed deformed shapes of leaflet under 10 mmHg and 30 mmHg pressures for isotropic material models. Note the substantially smaller displacements in the orthotropic model simulation.
