Abstract: The deformation occurring in the articular cartilage covering the human femoral head has been measured both when the femoral head is loaded in its natural acetabulum and when the cartilage is ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions have been obtained for the internal deformation and fluid-flow fields and the externally observable creep, stress relaxation, and constant strain-rate behaviors which occur ...

Abstract: Articular cartilage is a biphasic material composed of a solid matrix phase (∼ 20 percent of the total tissue mass by weight) and an interstitial fluid phase (∼ 80 percent). The intrinsic ...

Abstract: The work demonstrates the benefits of using digital methods for the development and optimization of large assembly manufacturing networks. Although an aircraft assembly has been used for this ...
