A New Methodology to Determine the Mechanical Properties of Ligaments at High Strain Rates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
A Validated Three-Dimensional Computational Model of a Human Knee Joint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element tibio-femoral joint model of a human knee that was validated using experimental data. The geometry of the joint model was obtained from ...
The Time and History-Dependent Viscoelastic Properties of the Canine Medial Collateral Ligament
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The viscoelastic properties of the canine medial collateral ligament (MCL) were investigated. Stress-strain relationships at different strain rates, long-term stress relaxation and cyclic stress-strain ...
Relaxation and Creep Quasilinear Viscoelastic Models for Normal Articular Cartilage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A quasilinear viscoelastic model was used to develop relaxation and creep forms for a constitutive law for soft tissues. Combined relaxation and cyclic test data as well as preconditioned and ...
The Effect of Storage on the Biomechanical Behavior of Articular Cartilage—A Large Strain Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The transplantation of stored shell osteochondral allografts is a potentially useful alternative to total joint replacements for the treatment of joint ailments. The maintenance of normal cartilage ...
The Effects of Knee Motion and External Loading on the Length of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL): A Kinematic Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A six-degrees-of-freedom mechanical linkage device was designed and used to study the unconstrained motion of ten intact human cadaver knees. The knees were subjected to externally applied varus ...
A Single Integral Finite Strain Viscoelastic Model of Ligaments and Tendons
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A general continuum model for the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of soft biological tissues was formulated. This single integral finite strain (SIFS) model describes finite deformation of a ...
Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic Properties of Normal Articular Cartilage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A combined experimental and analytical approach was used to determine the history-dependent viscoelastic properties of normal articular cartilage in tension. Specimens along the surface split line ...
An Analytical Approach to Determine the in Situ Forces in the Glenohumeral Ligaments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to use an analytical approach to determine the forces in the glenohumeral ligaments during joint motion. Predictions from the analytical approach were validated ...
The Effects of Exercise on the Biomechanical and Biochemical Properties of Swine Digital Flexor Tendons
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The digital flexor tendons of the miniature swine were studied after 12 mo of running exercise. Using a newly developed methodology whereby the properties of tendon substance and tendon-bone ...
