Soft tissues—such as ligaments and tendons—primarily consist of solid (collagen,
predominantly) and liquid phases. Understanding the interaction between such components …

Walking, running, jum**, or even just standing up are habits that we all have to perform in
our everyday lives. However, defects in tissues composing the knee joint can drastically alter …

Brain microstructure plays a key role in driving the transport of drug molecules directly
administered to the brain tissue, as in Convection-Enhanced Delivery procedures. The …

Introduction: The knee meniscus distributes and dampens mechanical loads. It is composed
of water (∼ 70%) and a porous fibrous matrix (∼ 30%) with a central core that is reinforced …

A novelty FG honeycomb-reinforced laminate (FGHRL) with viscoelastic material is
constructed for an industrial exoskeleton. The study examines how FGHRL dissipates …

The meniscal tissue is a layered material with varying properties influenced by collagen
content and arrangement. Understanding the relationship between structure and properties …

The paper presents the modeling of damage to articular cartilage under cyclic daily loads
using a curved beam model and hyper-elasticity theory. Mainly, articular cartilage (AC) is a …

Damage to the meniscus has been associated with excessive shear loads. Aimed at
elucidating meniscus pathophysiology, previous studies have investigated the shear …

In this study, we observe that the poromechanical parameters in human meniscus vary
spatially throughout the tissue. The response is anisotropic and the porosity is functionally …

Constitutive modeling of the meniscus is critical in areas like knee surgery and tissue
engineering. At low strain rates, the meniscus can be described using a hyperelastic model …
