Abstract: Stent is a small net that is placed in narrowed or blocked part of blood vessel in order to open it and enable regular blood flow. There are dozens of stent types on today's market with very different and complex structures and, therefore, different global mechanical properties. Designing and testing stents that will meet preset mechanical conditions is a very demanding process. However, there is a very efficient way to accomplish that task, based on use of simple mathematical stent model. Numerical approximation of model solution enables simulations that can lead to different conclusions on global properties of stent without fabricating the stent itself. Furthermore, simulations enable next step also: finding stent design that is optimal by it's properties.

Josip Tambača, PhD is full professor tenure at Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Zagreb. His research is from the field of Applied mathematics. He works on applications regarding continuum mechanics, especially on modelling of thin elastic structures, biodegradable materials and poroelastic materials. He has authored over sixty scientific papers, most of them published in reputable international journals from CC and SCIE lists. He contributed in or led many domestic and international research and professional projects. As mentor for numerous doctoral disertations he introduced many young researchers to modern research on Theory of elasticity. He contributed to organizing several international scientific conferences on Applied mathematics. He is recipient of Prize for science for 2001. as research novice and recipient of State prize for science for 2019. 

We are looking forward to your participation!
