The dynamic stress analysis and response of artificial heart valves — specifically the aortic valve is impending following the increasing number of artificial valve failures. This calls for the development of a mock circulatory system in order to establish clearly the parameters associated with the circulatory system in the heart and their effects on the robustness of a prosthetic implant.
