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 ...
Hydrostatic Pressurization and Depletion of Trapped Lubricant Pool During Creep Contact of a Rippled Indenter Against a Biphasic Articular Cartilage Layer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents an analysis of the contact of a rippled rigid impermeable indenter against a cartilage layer, which represents a first simulation of the contact of rough cartilage surfaces ...
Experimental Verification of the Roles of Intrinsic Matrix Viscoelasticity and Tension-Compression Nonlinearity in the Biphasic Response of Cartilage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A biphasic-CLE-QLV model proposed in our recent study [2001, J. Biomech. Eng., 123 , pp. 410–417] extended the biphasic theory of Mow et al. [1980, J. Biomech. Eng., 102 , pp. 73–84] to ...
Functional Tissue Engineering of Articular Cartilage Through Dynamic Loading of Chondrocyte-Seeded Agarose Gels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to its avascular nature, articular cartilage exhibits a very limited capacity to regenerate and to repair. Although much of the tissue-engineered cartilage in existence has been successful ...
