Stent is a tiny tube that is inserted in the blocked arteries or veins to keep it open. This model simulates the deployment of the stent in the blocked arteries. The stent is made up of a shape memory alloy named Nitinol. The advantage of using nitinol is that the recoverable strains observed are very high which can be seen in the model simulation. Super-elastic material model was used in Abaqus for simulating the response of nitinol.
