Abstract : The mechanics of articular cartilage has been intensively
studied in the last four decades. Early studies were mainly experimental
with limited development in constitutive modelling. There has been
rapidly increasing modelling work since the initial biphasic model was
born. Researchers then tried over two decades to understand why
the early versions of the biphasic models could not capture the great
transient load response that ...
