The strain dependence of the intrinsic viscoelastic properties of the cartilage matrix in shear was investigated. Stress relaxation experiments were performed on bovine articular cartilage at shear strains ranging from approximately 3% to 16%. The tissue was found to exhibit nonlinear strain-depende

The objective of this study was the development and characterization of an in vitro model of the initiation of traumatic osteoarthritis (OA). Articular cartilage was obtained from seven healthy horses and from four horses diagnosed with OA. Cartilage disks were subjected to a single-impact load (500
Aims of the present study were to test the hypotheses that (1) the compressive properties of articular cartilage are affected more by changes in the medium ionic concentration than the tensile properties, (2) collagen network controls the compression-tension nonlinearity of articular cartilage, and
