An approximate variational procedure offers a practical analytical solution for evaluating heart valve leaflet stresses, aiding biomedical design.
The problem is approached using an approximate and simple variational procedure. A comparison with results obtained by means of the finite element method reveals that the analytical solution is convenient from a practical engineering viewpoint. It is hoped that biomedical researchers and designers will find the present approach useful when dealing with more complex structural dynamic situations.
