FEA Simulation in Abaqus

This product presents a fully detailed finite element simulation of stent expansion in a coronary artery affected by symmetric plaque buildup. The model replicates a controlled, idealized clinical scenario for testing deployment accuracy and design behavior.

🔍 Key Features:

• Built entirely in Abaqus/Explicit

• Includes a balloon-expandable stent, a symmetric plaque, and a realistic artery

• Captures key stent behaviors: foreshortening, radial recoil, longitudinal retraction, and dog boning

• Material models:

  • Stent: Elastic–plastic (316L stainless steel)

  • Artery: Hyperelastic (Reduced Polynomial model)

  • Balloon: Hyperelastic (Mooney-Rivlin model)
