Depth-Dependence and Time-Dependence in Mechanical Behaviors of Articular Cartilage in Unconfined Compression Test under Constant Total Deformation

Depth-Dependence and Time-Dependence in Mechanical Behaviors of Articular Cartilage in Unconfined Compression Test under Constant Total Deformation

Articular cartilage has high water content from 70 to 80% and biphasic property. The structures of the tissue are inhomogeneous and anisotropy. Consequently, cartilage tissue shows complicated viscoelastic behavior to mechanical stimuli because of depth-dependent and time-dependent interstitial flui...
