Abstract: Though remarkably robust, articular cartilage becomes susceptible to damage at high loading rates, particularly under shear. While several studies have measured the local static and steadystate shear properties of cartilage, ...

Abstract: Articular cartilage (AC) is a load-bearing tissue that covers long bones in synovial joints. The biphasic/poroelastic mechanical properties of AC help it to protect joints by distributing loads, absorbing impact forces, ...

Abstract: he effect of bottom roughness on setup dynamics was investigated using high-resolution observations across a laboratory fringing reef profile with roughness elements scaled to mimic the frictional wave dissipation of a ...

Abstract: igh-resolution observations from a 55-m-long wave flume were used to investigate the dynamics of wave setup over a steeply sloping reef profile with a bathymetry representative of many fringing coral reefs. The 16 runs ...

Abstract: With the onset and progression of osteoarthritis (OA), articular cartilage (AC) mechanical properties are altered. These alterations can serve as an objective measure of tissue degradation. Although the mouse is a common ...

Abstract: While useful models have been proposed to predict the mechanical impact of damage in tendon and other soft tissues, the applicability of these models for describing in vivo injury and agerelated degeneration has not been ...
