Valves With A Single Degree of Freedom
Usually the aortic and mitral valves are incorporated in valve studies within a single degree of freedom. These relationships are based on the idea of the valve being a structure with a single degree of freedom. These relationships are based upon the Euler equations.
Equations for the aortic valve in this case:
where:
u=axial velocity
p=pressure
A=cross sectional area of valve
L=axial length of valve
(t)=single degree of freedom; when
Atrioventricular valve

“If parents award freedom regardless of whether their children have demonstrated an ability to handle it, children never learn to see a clear link between responsible behavior and adult privileges.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
