Numerical (half) model of the simplified crimping simulation on one ring of peripheral stent. This is performed through a rigid contact, defined between the stent outer surface and the external cylinder one: starting from the fully-expanded configuration (a), the cylindrical rigid surface moves in negative radial direction until the stent reaches its final crimped shape (b).
