Numerical contact simulation of the mechanical interaction between a parameterized Stent frame model and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

• Carsten Ditzel

This publication is the result of a research semester of mine at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) within the Department of Solid Mechanics back in 2014. It deals with the numerical contact calculation of stent deployments for the treatment of Abdominal aortic aneurysm. Realistic computational simulations applied to the medical field, have the potential to circumvent dangerous in-vivo test runs and can exclude possible life-threatening risks from the start. You can find the paper here, alongside some Matlab code which was used to facilitate the simulations.
