Resumo:
The aim of this dissertation is to characterize and analyse the mechanical behavior of the internal membrane of the (Brazilian) Heart Institute's Ventricular Assist Device, VAD-InCor, through application of the knowledge and tools of structural engineeering analysis. This membrane plays an important role in the mechanical operation of the VAD-InCor, since it separates the blood chamber from the pneumatic chamber, transmitting a pneumatic load to the blood that has entered the blood chamber. The load repeats itself cyclicaly. Therefore the performance, reliability and durability of the membrane are critical for the full functioning of the VAD. The mathematical model is based on the large strain theory of thin shells and on the finite element method. The snap through instability phenomenon, which is responsible for transmission of the pneumatic load to the blood, was observed in the membrane when modeled mathematically and experimentally. Principal stresses and strain distributions were obtrained with this model, at certain load levels along the pre- and post-buckling paths.
