Effects of Nonlinear Strain-Dependent Permeability and Rate of Compression on the Stress Behavior of Articular Cartilage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The compressive viscoelastic behavior of articular cartilage, a fiber-reinforced, porous, permeable solid matrix filled with water, is predominately governed by the flow of the interstitial water ...
The Significance of Electromechanical and Osmotic Forces in the Nonequilibrium Swelling Behavior of Articular Cartilage in Tension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Studies were conducted of some of the nonequilibrium, electrolyte-activated, electromechanical and osmotic processes that can affect the tensile properties of articular cartilage. We measured changes ...
