From Clinic to Computation: Multiscale Bioengineering Strategies for Durable Biological Aortic Valve Replacements
Gabriele Greco, Pierfrancesco Gaziano, Serena Anglese, Simone Morganti, Carlo de Vincentiis, Ferdinando Auricchio, Michele Marino, Michele Conti
Advanced Functional Materials, 2026
Bioprosthetic aortic valves, especially those implanted via transcatheter methods, have transformed the treatment of aortic stenosis. Nevertheless, their long‐term durability is still limited by structural valve deterioration. While clinical and hemodynamic factors have been extensively reviewed, the material science perspective on bioprosthetic valve deterioration has received comparatively less attention. Structural valve deterioration is, however, a complex, multiscale, and multifactorial process, in which mechanical fatigue and calcification of bovine or porcine pericardial tissue play central roles. For this reason, this review focuses on the pericardium itself—the engineered soft tissue at the core of bioprosthetic valves. The experimental techniques used to characterize its properties across multiple length scales, from molecular composition to macroscopic mechanics, are examined, highlighting how these multiscale measurements reveal critical structure–function relationships. Such insights are crucial for more accurate modeling of pericardial behavior and for understanding its deterioration in vivo. By integrating bioengineering, advanced physical characterization, and computational modeling, a framework is outlined that links material properties to valve‐level performance and, ultimately, clinical durability. This perspective not only advances the fundamental understanding of structural valve deterioration but also provides guidance for designing next‐generation bioprosthetic and synthetic polymeric valves with improved longevity.

Triply periodic minimal surfaces for gradient impedance matching layers in ultrasonic transducers
D D’Aprile, F Auricchio, S Morganti
Engineering Research Express, 2025
Ultrasonic transducers are widely used in various fields, including industrial non-destructive testing, underwater detection, and medical diagnostics. A key challenge in optimizing their performance is the impedance mismatch between the piezoelectric elements and the surrounding medium, which significantly affects energy transmission efficiency. Traditional matching layers, such as quarter-wavelength ( λ /4) structures, enhance transmission around a specific frequency but suffer from narrow bandwidth limitations. To address this issue, broadband matching layers with gradually varying acoustic impedance have been proposed. In this study, we introduce a new broadband matching layer design based on Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS), specifically utilizing primitive unit cells with a quasi-exponential density variation along the wave propagation direction. These structures can be easily designed with a continuously varying material distribution and efficiently fabricated using additive manufacturing techniques. We develop finite element models of the proposed designs, which demonstrate high efficiency in terms of energy transmission, showing a clear improvement in the transmission coefficient compared to conventional solutions. Additionally, our acoustic numerical results indicate that the number of unit cells significantly influences the presence of frequency band gaps. This characteristic could be leveraged to design matching layers that selectively block specific frequency ranges.

Computers in Biology and Medicine, 2025
OBJECTIVE: To study hemodynamic variations due to thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). DESIGN & METHODS: Five patients were prospectively included in the study. For each patient, we collected cardio-computed tomography angiography scans, electrocardiogram measurements, and additional clinical data, including heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and blood volumes, both before and after surgery. Such information was used to create patient-specific digital twin models. We conducted CFD simulations by integrating both geometric and clinical parameters of digital twins. Our analysis focused on bulk flow, velocity streamlines, flow distribution, and areas exposed to atherogenic stimuli. We calculated the time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS), oscillatory shear index (OSI), and relative residence time (RRT) to assess the conditions before and after TEVAR. Additionally, we measured the geometric parameters of the ascending aorta (length, diameter, and tortuosity) both before and after TEVAR. RESULTS: Mean age of the patients was 71 years; average time between follow-up appointments was 448 days. Three patients were women and two were men. Small geometric changes appear to occur in the aortic root and ascending aorta following stent insertion. Areas with low TAWSS tend to decrease overall, with a mean reduction of 23.55 % (±22.40); a more pronounced decrease of 29.16 % (±26.51) was observed in the endograft implantation area. The variation trends in areas with high OSI show a considerable level of interpatient variability, but generally tend to increase within the endograft, with an average increase of 5.23 % (±4.30). There is an average reduction of 32.62 % (±15.97) in the mean RRT value for each patient after TEVAR. Systolic flow patterns do not vary significantly. Coronary perfusion levels remain within the ranges reported in the literature. Coronary flow increases in three out of five patients. CONCLUSION: No significant geometric remodeling is observed after TEVAR treatments; however, pronounced hemodynamic changes occur, leading to a reduced atherogenic risk. Nonetheless, there is considerable variability among patients.

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2025
BACKGROUND: To study the effect of endovascular treatment of the thoracic aorta on cardiac geometry and evaluate the effects of stent placement on hemodynamics and cardiovascular biomechanics. METHODS: Articles were selected through the use of online databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, investigating the use of engineering methods (computational analysis and simulations using three-dimensional models of cardiovascular structures obtained from medical imaging) to study the effects of pretreatment and posttreatment Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) in terms of left ventricular mass variation and assessment of fluid dynamics parameters such as Wall Shear Stress (WSS), flow variations, and velocity. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS: A total of 11 studies were considered: 3 reported data on left ventricular mass variation, 5 reported flow and velocity variations, and 6 provided information on WSS. A high discrepancy in results and methodology for conducting the analyses was observed. Overall, an increase in left ventricular mass was observed in patients undergoing TEVAR, while an improvement in flow conditions and stress was noted following the exclusion of the pathological aortic zone. CONCLUSIONS: To summarize, TEVAR can result in changes in vascular structures. However, the current literature on this topic is limited and the analysis methods used vary in terms of methodology, treated pathology, and follow-up duration. To successfully integrate computational simulations and engineering evaluations of medical images into clinical practice, it is crucial to standardize the analysis methods.
Investigation of microscale brittle fracture opening in diamond with olivine inclusion using XFEM and cohesive zone modeling
Biswabhanu Puhan, Alessia Patton, Simone Morganti, Greta Rustioni, Alessandro Reali, Matteo Alvaro
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2025
• XFEM/CZM models for brittle fractures in olivine-diamond systems. • Inclusion shape affects initial damage but has less impact on fracture propagation. • Brittle fracture plays a smaller role in stress relaxation than elastic effects. • Residual pressure suggests an interplay of inelastic deformation, fluids, and flaws. • Fracture mechanics provide interdisciplinary insights on diamond-inclusion systems. Inclusions trapped in diamonds are a fundamental source of information to probe the Earth’s interior, provided that the pressure conditions at which the diamond grew are correctly determined. This study explores the traditional assumptions in geothermobarometry for olivine-in-diamond host-inclusion systems by employing extended finite element methods (XFEM) and cohesive zone models (CZM) to quantify the contributions of brittle fractures to the relaxation of the residual stress of inclusions. Our analysis was performed assuming that the host-inclusion system does not contain fluids and that the unfractured minerals are elastically isotropic. Our models show that the damage initiation is solely dependent on the shape of the inclusion and on the fracture strength of the diamond host, while the fracture nucleation is influenced by both the size of the inclusion and the toughness of the diamond. Our findings indicate that, in dry systems, the amount of relaxation of residual stress of the inclusion due to the opening of brittle fractures is much lower than that due to the elastic interaction between the host and the inclusion. Moreover, the pressure release due to fractures is not substantially affected by the shape of the inclusion. We also show that the total relaxation of the residual pressure due to the combined effect of the elastic interaction and of the brittle deformation is lower than what is observed in natural samples, even when assuming fracture strength and toughness lower than those reported from experiments on single crystals of diamond. Such discrepancies suggest that in natural olivine-diamond systems additional mechanisms such as viscous or plastic deformation and/or the presence of preexisting defects and fluids in the host might play a relevant role in the relaxation of the residual stress. These findings underscore the need for advanced numerical tools that consider the complex interplay of the geometry of the host-inclusion system, the fracture properties, and the presence of fluids and defects in order to build more accurate models to constrain the geological history of diamonds.
Assessment of Vibration Frequencies of Piezo-Actuated Panel by Model-Assisted Self-Mixing Interferometry
E. Bodo, L. Ciccarelli, V. Bello, S. Morganti, S. Merlo
IEEE Open Journal of Instrumentation and Measurement, 2025
Flat surfaces driven by attached piezoelectric actuators are promising devices for the development of future generations of speakers. Although audio devices characterization requires sound pressure level measurements, preliminary testing of electromechanical frequency response and actuation efficiency may provide meaningful insights into the operation capability of these innovative systems. In this work, we have investigated a Plexiglas panel attached to a piezo-ceramic actuator as test structure. In particular, we successfully combined finite element analysis and out-of-plane displacement measurements performed with a semiconductor laser feedback (or self-mixing) interferometer in a few selected spots of the optically diffusing panel. To rapidly detect the spectral response, the actuator was driven by electrical white noise to obtain a photodetected interferometric signal in the frequency domain directly proportional to the vibration amplitude. Sinusoidal driving of the actuator at selected frequencies and interferometric signal analyses in the time domain allowed quantifying the actuation efficiency, as a function of the frequency and of the position on the panel, of the three mechanical modes exhibiting out-of-plane displacement in the range up to approximately 1 kHz. The values of natural frequencies numerically obtained match the experimentally detected values, with a difference up to 3%, 6%, and 9% for Mode 1, Mode 4, and Mode 8, respectively, that are the three lowest modes with effective modal mass along the z-direction.

Progress in Additive Manufacturing, 2024
In this paper, we propose a modified material jetting technology based on a piezoelectric-driven powder deposition, hence direct powder deposition (DPD), combined with pressure-assisted rapid sintering. This is a new approach toward the rapid production of metal and ceramic materials with complex geometries. The combined deposition of two loose powders within the same container, layer by layer, allows realizing complex shapes without the use of any binder or dispersing medium. The resulting green sample is then sintered by field assisted sintering (FAST) or spark plasma sintering (SPS) operating in a pseudo-isostatic mode. This combination of DPD and FAST/SPS allows great versatility, as it can be extended to a wide range of materials and composites without any significant modification of the setup. Moreover, the use of FAST/SPS densification allows the realization of fully sintered samples in less than one hour.
