Maximum in-plane principal stress (MIPS) and strain (MIPE) distributions for the isotropic and orthotropic material models for the simulations performed in Fig. 4. Perhaps the most striking difference is the switch in principal strain directions between the two material models. This is a direct result on how the leaflets deform from identical geometric starting points using the two different material models.
