Importance of Material Properties and Porosity of Bone on Mechanical Response of Articular Cartilage in Human Knee Joint—A Two Dimensional Finite Element Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical behavior of bone is determined by the structure and intrinsic, local material properties of the tissue. However, previously presented knee joint models for evaluation of stresses and strains in joints generally ...
Full Field Strain Measurement During Mechanical Testing of the Human Femur at Physiologically Relevant Strain Rates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Understanding the mechanical properties of human femora is of great importance for the development of a reliable fracture criterion aimed at assessing fracture risk. Earlier ex vivo studies have been conducted by measuring ...
Clinical Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography With Semi-Automatic Segmentation Provides Feasible Input for Computational Models of the Knee Joint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Computational models can provide information on joint function and risk of tissue failure related to progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Currently, the joint geometries utilized in modeling are primarily obtained via manual ...
