Evaluation of Viscoelastic Property of Articular Cartilage Based on Mechanical Model Considering Tissue Microstructure
The mechanical behavior of articular cartilage is strongly dependent on its microstructure characterized by three-dimensional, depth-dependent densities and anisotropic arrangements of cartilage cells and collagen fibres in extracellular matrix. The inclusion of cartilage microstructure to model ana...
