Finite Element Analyses of Articular Cartilage Models Considering Depth-Dependent Elastic Modulus and Collagen Fiber Network
Articular cartilage has high water content and biphasic property. The structures of the tissue are inhomogeneous and anisotropic. Furthermore, the mechanical behavior of cartilage shows depth-dependence. Therefore it is necessary to consider not only the average tissue property but also the local on...
