Depth-Dependent Strain Model (1D) for Anisotropic Fibrils in Articular Cartilage
The mechanical response of articular cartilage (AC) under compression is anisotropic and depth-dependent. AC is osmotically active, and its intrinsic osmotic swelling pressure is balanced by its collagen fibril network. This mechanism requires the collagen fibers to be under a state of tensile pre-s...
