Effect of the anisotropic permeability in the frequency dependent properties of the superficial layer of articular cartilage

Articular cartilage is a tissue of fundamental importance for the mechanics of joints, since it provides a smooth and lubricated surface for the proper transfer of loads. From a mechanical point of view, this tissue is an anisotropic poroviscoelastic material: its characteristics at the macroscopic...
