RISAnisotropic and Inhomogeneous Tensile Behavior of the Human Anulus Fibrosus: Experimental Measurement and Material Model Predictions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The anulus fibrosus (AF) of the intervertebral disc exhibits spatial variations in structure and composition that give rise to both anisotropy and inhomogeneity in its material behaviors in ...
Erratum: “A Linear Material Model for Fiber-Induced Anisotropy of the Anulus Fibrosus” [ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 122, pp. 173–179]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the contributor’s line, the date on which the original manuscript was received was listed incorrectly. The correct date is September 13, 1998.
The Micromechanical Environment of Intervertebral Disc Cells: Effect of Matrix Anisotropy and Cell Geometry Predicted by a Linear Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cells of the intervertebral disc exhibit spatial variations in phenotype and morphology that may be related to differences in their local mechanical environments. In this study, the stresses, ...
A Linear Material Model for Fiber-Induced Anisotropy of the Anulus Fibrosus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The anulus fibrosus (AF) is a lamellar, fibrocartilaginous component of the intervertebral disc, which exhibits highly anisotropic behaviors in tension. These behaviors arise from the material’s ...
Compressive Properties of Mouse Articular Cartilage Determined in a Novel Micro-Indentation Test Method and Biphasic Finite Element Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanical properties of articular cartilage serve as important measures of tissue function or degeneration, and are known to change significantly with osteoarthritis. Interest in small animal ...
Direct Measurement of the Poisson’s Ratio of Human Patella Cartilage in Tension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Articular cartilage has been shown to exhibit large transverse contractions when loaded in tension, suggesting the existence of large values for the Poisson’s ratio. Previous studies have suggested ...
Experimental and Biphasic FEM Determinations of the Material Properties and Hydraulic Permeability of the Meniscus in Tension1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tensile tests and biphasic finite element modeling were used to determine a set of transversely isotropic properties for the meniscus, including the hydraulic permeability coefficients and solid ...
The Micromechanical Environment of Intervertebral Disc Cells Determined by a Finite Deformation, Anisotropic, and Biphasic Finite Element Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cellular response to mechanical loading varies between the anatomic zones of the intervertebral disc. This difference may be related to differences in the structure and mechanics of both cells ...
Discussion: “On the Thermodynamical Admissibility of the Triphasic Theory of Charged Hydrated Tissues” (Huyghe, J. M., Wilson, W., and Malakpoor, K., ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 2009, 131, p. 044504)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We feel it is necessary for us to point out some critical mathematical errors and erroneous statements that Huyghe et al. made in the manuscript listed above (hereafter, referred to as the ...
