Viscoelastic modelling of the tricuspid valve chordae tendineae tissue

In the present study, mechanical behavior of tricuspid valve (TV) chordae tendineae tissue is investigated experimentally and theoretically. A series uniaxial testing experiments TV conducted its viscoelastic model developed by taking into account initial condition displacement tissue. Our experimental result shows typical J-shaped force-displacement curve corresponding established via a nonlinear spring installed to replace linear generalized Kelvin model. addition, specified arrangements parameters individual element are proposed. The exact solutions under step-wise constant-rate forces analytically derived calibration constants addressed. resulted simulation compared with superior performance proposed creep monotonic loading experiments. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis parameter study performed examine influence conditions andother internal variables on response forces.
