are direction-dependent constants, and x aligns in the
direction of  bres or primary  bres if there are secondary  bres such as in the
meniscus. Replacing x with y and z , respectively, will derive the correspond-
ing equations for the transverse directions. Obviously, this formula will not
be valid when the tensile strain is large. Fortunately, when cartilage is com-
pressed from the articular surface, the lateral tensile strain is only a fraction
of the compressive strain. Therefore, this simple formula can approximate
moderate compressions. In the case of ...
