RISAnisotropic and Inhomogeneous Tensile Behavior of the Human Anulus Fibrosus: Experimental Measurement and Material Model Predictions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The anulus fibrosus (AF) of the intervertebral disc exhibits spatial variations in structure and composition that give rise to both anisotropy and inhomogeneity in its material behaviors in ...
The Role of Fiber-Matrix Interactions in a Nonlinear Fiber-Reinforced Strain Energy Model of Tendon
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this study was to develop a nonlinear and anisotropic three-dimensional mathematical model of tendon behavior in which the structural components of fibers, matrix, and fiber-matrix ...
Erratum: “A Linear Material Model for Fiber-Induced Anisotropy of the Anulus Fibrosus” [ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 122, pp. 173–179]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the contributor’s line, the date on which the original manuscript was received was listed incorrectly. The correct date is September 13, 1998.
A Linear Material Model for Fiber-Induced Anisotropy of the Anulus Fibrosus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The anulus fibrosus (AF) is a lamellar, fibrocartilaginous component of the intervertebral disc, which exhibits highly anisotropic behaviors in tension. These behaviors arise from the material’s ...
Disc Mechanics With Trans-Endplate Partial Nucleotomy are not Fully Restored Following Cyclic Compressive Loading and Unloaded Recovery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical function of the intervertebral disc is maintained through the interaction between the hydrated nucleus pulposus, the surrounding annulus fibrosus, and the superior and inferior endplates. ...
Direct Measurement of the Poisson’s Ratio of Human Patella Cartilage in Tension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Articular cartilage has been shown to exhibit large transverse contractions when loaded in tension, suggesting the existence of large values for the Poisson’s ratio. Previous studies have suggested ...
Methods for Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic Modeling of Soft Tissue: Application to Incremental Stress-Relaxation Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The quasi-linear viscoelastic (QLV) model was applied to incremental stress-relaxation tests and an expression for the stress was derived for each step. This expression was used to compare two ...
Theoretical and Uniaxial Experimental Evaluation of Human Annulus Fibrosus Degeneration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The highly organized structure and composition of the annulus fibrosus provides the tissue with mechanical behaviors that include anisotropy and nonlinearity. Mathematical models are necessary to ...
Effect of Fiber Orientation and Strain Rate on the Nonlinear Uniaxial Tensile Material Properties of Tendon
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tendons are exposed to complex loading scenarios that can only be quantified by mathematical models, requiring a full knowledge of tendon mechanical properties. This study measured the anisotropic, ...
Fabrication and Modeling of Dynamic Multipolymer Nanofibrous Scaffolds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Aligned nanofibrous scaffolds hold tremendous potential for the engineering of dense connective tissues. These biomimetic micropatterns direct organized cell-mediated matrix deposition and can be ...
