Optimal design of stents

Stents are elastic meshes that are implanted into blood vessels to keep them open. Their mechanical properties are very dependent on very complex mesh structure. Thus on the market there are several different producers with different designs of stents. In this talk a possible attempt in order to obtain optimal design of stents using one dimensional curved rod model for stents will be presented. The focus will be on two optimization problems, the first with respect to the thickness of stent’s struts (the edges in the mesh) and the second with respect to certain changes of geometry, but keeping the topology of the mesh fixed.
