- This paper is significant because it introduces a novel model, derived from the non-Gaussian statistical mechanics of the molecular chains, for application to the deformation of the elastin network in heart valves. In addition, it has garnered international attention in the field of elastomers: (i) Professor C.O. Horgan (University of Virginia, coh8p@virginia.edu) published a note to draw attention to the advantages of this model over the existing ones (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2020.103665); and (ii) in a joint collaboration with Professor G. Saccomandi (Perugia University, giuseppe.saccomandi@unipg.it), the application of the model was extended to analysing the inflation instabilities of rubbers (Journal of Elasticity, accepted).
