... scanning electron micrographs. Mechanical properties of the scaffolds were assessed by uniaxial tensile testing as well as creep testing. Viscoelastic parameters were determined by fitting creep data to Burger’s four-parameter model. Oscillatory dynamic mechanical testing was used to determine the storage...

... estimation. In particular, creep tests at different maximum stresses have been successfully simulated. The proposed nonlinear viscoelastic model is able to predict the time-dependent response of ligaments described in experimental works ( Bonifasi-Lista et al., 2005, J. Orthopaed. Res., 23, pp. 67–76...

... were, respectively, as follows: Traditional (12, 9), UnXL TEBV (6, 6), Glut TEBV (6, 6), Artery (6). Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean. Creep tests were performed for 20 min periods at loading levels equivalent to 33% of the UTS of each sample. Following...
