- This paper presents a novel model for capturing the rate-dependent mechanical behaviour of the aortic heart valve. Based on the experimental data put forward in this work, the devised model allowed the incorporation of the viscoelastic effects of the valve tissue into a continuum mechanics modelling framework. An experimental protocol is also devised for the correct calibration of the rate-dependent model. The predictions of the rate-effects on the mechanical behaviour of the aortic valve made possible by this model were used as pilot evidence in a successful Leverhulme Trust grant application (VP1-2017-001).
