RISResponse to Comment by Charles W. McCutchen
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We thank Dr. McCutchen for his comment. We are keenly aware of his hypotheses for cartilage lubrication 12 and agree with one of the fundamental premises he first proposed, namely that ...
Erratum: “Response to Dr. Robert W. Mann” [Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2004, 126(4), p. 539]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In my recent response to Professor Robert W. Mann’s letter to the editor (1) regarding our theoretical study of a trapped lubricant pool during articular contact, I made the following statement ...
Anisotropy of Fibrous Tissues in Relation to the Distribution of Tensed and Buckled Fibers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fibrous tissues are characterized by a much higher stiffness in tension than compression. This study uses microstructural modeling to analyze the material symmetry of fibrous tissues undergoing ...
Response to Dr. Robert W. Mann
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dr. Mann’s assertion that experimentally-based results trump those of theory is only as convincing as the validity of the results. As Dr. Mann himself acknowledges in his comment, the analysis ...
The Role of Mass Balance Equations in Growth Mechanics Illustrated in Surface and Volume Dissolutions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Growth mechanics problems require the solution of mass balance equations that include supply terms and account for mass exchanges among constituents of a mixture. Though growth may often be ...
Dynamic Response of Immature Bovine Articular Cartilage in Tension and Compression, and Nonlinear Viscoelastic Modeling of the Tensile Response
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Very limited information is currently available on the constitutive modeling of the tensile response of articular cartilage and its dynamic modulus at various loading frequencies. The objectives ...
Sliding Tractions on a Deformable Porous Layer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The problem of sliding surface tractions on a porous biphasic layer with viscous interstitial fluid is solved, which can serve as the basis for solving problems of elastohydrodynamic lubrication ...
A Conewise Linear Elasticity Mixture Model for the Analysis of Tension-Compression Nonlinearity in Articular Cartilage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A biphasic mixture model is developed that can account for the observed tension-compression nonlinearity of cartilage by employing the continuum-based Conewise Linear Elasticity (CLE) model of ...
Anisotropic Hydraulic Permeability Under Finite Deformation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The structural organization of biological tissues and cells often produces anisotropic transport properties. These tissues may also undergo large deformations under normal function, potentially ...
Modeling of Neutral Solute Transport in a Dynamically Loaded Porous Permeable Gel: Implications for Articular Cartilage Biosynthesis and Tissue Engineering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A primary mechanism of solute transport in articular cartilage is believed to occur through passive diffusion across the articular surface, but cyclical loading has been shown experimentally to ...
