Age-Dependent Influence of Strain Rate on the Tensile Failure of Rat-Tail Tendon
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Sensitivity of tensile strength, failure strain, and failure energy density to strain rate was studied for rat-tail tendon (RTT), a collagen-rich connective tissue. Tendons from animals aged 1–27 ...
The Effect of a Lathyritic Diet on the Sensitivity of Tendon to Strain Rate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While the tensile failure properties of rat-tail tendon depend on strain rate, the sensitivity to strain rate decreases with age, especially during sexual maturation. The object of this study ...
The Effects of Orientation and Location on the Strength of Dorsal Rat Skin in High and Low Speed Tensile Failure Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The tensile strength of skin is associated, in part, with its potential for laceration from impact. The quasi-static tensile strength of skin depends on orientation. The objective of this study ...
Impact-Induced Fissuring of Articular Cartilage: An Investigation of Failure Criteria
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Several candidate predictors for the occurrence of surface fissures in cartilage, including impact force, shear stress, and tensile strain have been previously proposed without an analytic basis. ...
A Poroelastic Model That Predicts Some Phenomenological Responses of Ligaments and Tendons
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental evidence suggests that the tensile behavior of tendons and ligaments is in part a function of tissue hydration. The models currently available do not offer a means by which the ...
An Approach for the Stress Analysis of Transversely Isotropic Biphasic Cartilage Under Impact Load
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stress analysis of contact models for isotropic articular cartilage under impacting loads shows high shear stresses at the interface with the subchondral bone and normal compressive stresses near ...
An Investigation of Biphasic Failure Criteria for Impact-Induced Fissuring of Articular Cartilage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Articular cartilage consists of both solid and fluid phases with fissures observed on the surface occurring in the solid portion. In order to determine which of the solid phase stresses provides ...
Mechanical Responses of the Rabbit Patello-Femoral Joint to Blunt Impact
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Various studies suggest impact trauma may initially soften cartilage, damage subchondral bone, or a combination thereof. The initial damages are commonly thought due to excessive contact pressures ...
Estimation of in Situ Elastic Properties of Biphasic Cartilage Based on a Transversely Isotropic Hypo-Elastic Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Articular cartilage is known to behave nonlinearly for large deformations. Mechanical properties derived from small strain experiments yield excessively large deformations in finite element models ...
Analysis of Acute Mechanical Insult in an Animal Model of Post-traumatic Osteoarthrosis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Chronic degeneration of articular cartilage and bone in a rabbit model of post-traumatic osteoarthrosis has been hypothesized to occur due to acute stresses that exceed a threshold for injury. ...
