Multiscale FEM model of artificial heart chamber composed of nanocoatings.
The purpose of the present work was to construct the multiscale FEM model of artificial heart chamber composed of nanocoatings. This goal is reached by the development of the FEM macromodel of artificial blood chamber using the commercial code and by the creation of the micromodel based on our own FEM code. The latter uses strain state obtained after loading in macromodel. The loci of failure initiation in the material of chamber were precisely determined and these results are used as an input data for the new micromodel.
