The presented study details a combined experimental and computational method to assess and compare the mechanical behavior of the main body of 4 different stent graft designs. The mechanical response to a flat plate compression and radial crimping of the devices is derived and related to geometrical and material features of different stent designs. The finite element modeling procedure is used to complement the experimental results and conduct a solution sensitivity study. Finite element evaluations of the mechanical behavior match well with experimental findings and are used as a quantitative basis to discuss design characteristics of the different devices.
