- The significance of this work is twofold: (i) the development of the modified invariants of the rate of deformation tensor for inclusion of the fibre dispersion into the constitutive modelling of the heart valves; and (ii) the application of that model to the deformation of the pulmonary valve. Based on this paper, researchers in Dr. Melissa Young’s (young.melissa@mayo.edu) group at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester (USA) have contacted us for finite element implementation of this model, which is currently under development. This research has informed further studies including that of Noble et al. (https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4043209, https://doi.org/10.1109/OJEMB.2020.3002450) and Kramer et al. (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actbio.2019.06.049).
