RISLoad Sharing Between Solid and Fluid Phases in Articular Cartilage: I — Experimental Determination of in Situ Mechanical Conditions in a Porcine Knee
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The in situ mechanical conditions of cartilage in the articulated knee were quantified during joint loading. Six porcine knees were subjected to a 445 N compressive load while cartilage ...
Load Sharing Between Solid and Fluid Phases in Articular Cartilage: II — Comparison of Experimental Results and u-p Finite Element Predictions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental measurements in conjunction with theoretical predictions were used to determine the extent of load supported by the fluid phase of cartilage at the articular surface. The u-p finite ...
The Effect of Storage on the Biomechanical Behavior of Articular Cartilage—A Large Strain Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The transplantation of stored shell osteochondral allografts is a potentially useful alternative to total joint replacements for the treatment of joint ailments. The maintenance of normal cartilage ...
A Three-Dimensional Finite Element Method for Large Elastic Deformations of Ventricular Myocardium: II—Prolate Spheroidal Coordinates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A three-dimensional finite element method for nonlinear finite elasticity is presented using prolate spheroidal coordinates. For a thick-walled ellipsoidal model of passive anisotropic left ventricle, ...
