Poroelasticity is the dominant energy dissipation mechanism in cartilage at the nano-scale

Recent studies of micro- and nano-scale mechanics of cartilage and chondrocyte pericellular matrix have begun to relate matrix molecular structure to its mechanical response. AFM-based indentation has revealed rate-dependent stiffness at the micro-scale. While multi-scale elastic behavior has been s...
