Material models and properties in the finite element analysis of knee ligaments: a literature review

Material models and properties in the finite element analysis of knee ligaments: a literature review

Knee ligaments are elastic bands of soft tissue with a complex microstructure and biomechanics which are critical to determine the kinematics as well as the stress bearing behavior of the knee joint. Their correct implementation in terms of material models and properties is therefore necessary in th...
