# phd-scripts

This repository is a collection of scripts and numerical models developed during my PhD, [The Mechanical Performance of Permanent and Bioabsorbable Metal Stents](http://hdl.handle.net/10379/3744) at University of Galway.

# Repository Overview

The repository is sectioned by journal publication corresponding, with an 'unpublished' section also. Each section includes a corresponding Zenodo archive link with exact versions of the srcipts used in the publication and other relevant binary data. 

The scripts in this repository may be modified from the publication versions to account for dependency version changes (e.g. supporting newer Python), licensing and usage clarification and code cleaning and refactoring. You can use the commit history to get back to the original publication versions or use the zenodo archive links.
