Abstract: A description is given of the results obtained for step excitation for two human knee joint specimens using a time-domain analysis technique. As was expected from the results of a previous ...

Abstract: Characteristic results of postmortem experiments on five knee-joint specimens are reported. The experiments were performed to investigate the applicability of a local linearization technique that ...

Abstract: Using the quasi-linear viscoelastic model proposed by Fung for the description of the viscoelastic properties of soft biological tissues, the parameters governing their time-dependent behavior are ...

Abstract: For description of the visco-elastic behavior of soft biological tissues, Fung proposed a visco-elastic model formulated in terms of a relaxation function and corresponding relaxation spectrum. ...

Abstract: An experimental approach for an in vitro investigation of some aspects of dynamic force transmission through the human knee joint is presented. Essentially, the behavior of the joint was analyzed ...
