Abstract: Computational models of musculoskeletal joints and limbs can provide useful information about joint mechanics. Validated models can be used as predictive devices for understanding joint function ...

Abstract: The aim of this work was the design and evaluation of a computational model to predict the functional behavior of the lower leg and foot/ankle complex whereby joint behavior was dictated by ...

Abstract: The complex structure and properties of biological tissues as well as their in situ environment often make it difficult to self-heal. A suitable replacement tissue may be created in vitro ...

Abstract: The finite element method using the principle of virtual work was applied to the biphasic theory to establish a numerical routine for analyses of articular cartilage behavior. The matrix equations ...

Abstract: Characterizing the biomechanical and biotribological properties for articular surfaces in healthy, damaged, and repaired states will both elucidate the understanding of mechanical degradation and ...
