Abstract: Tendon is a connective tissue that transmits loads from muscle to bone, while ligament is a similar tissue that stabilizes joint articulation by connecting bone to bone. Seventy to 90% of tendon and ligament's extracellular ...

Abstract: Knee finite element (FE) models are used to study tissue deformation in response to complex loads. Typically, ligaments are modeled using transversely isotropic, hyperelastic material models fitted to tension data along ...
