Has anyone modeled aortic valve calcium plaque crack/failure/fracture? What crack model works the best? Can you also guide me to a good resource where I can find reliable fracture parameters? TIA
Note: I am looking into the 'concrete smeared cracking model', 'concrete damaged plasticity model', and also ductile fracture models. The issue is I have not found any reliable source clearly stating the material property/ a range of property (since calcium deposit material property can vary based on age and some other hemodynamic factors). So I am unable to test out those models.
