- This work is one of the main outcomes of a Leverhulme Trust funded project (VP1-2017-001), which attracted national and international collaborations including Dr. Adrian Chester (a.chester@imperial.ac.uk) at the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College, and Professor Gerhard Holzapfel (holzapfel@tugraz.at) at the Institute of Biomechanics, Graz University (Austria). The significance of this work lies in providing novel experimental evidence on the rate-dependency of the mechanical behaviour of the semilunar heart valves (aortic and pulmonary valves) over a 1000-fold range of deformation rates (from 0.001/s to 1/s). This research has informed further studies including that of Noble et al. (https://doi.org/10.1109/OJEMB.2020.3002450).
