... was to integrate high-frequency ultrasound and texture correlation to quantify disc strain during dynamic loading. We acquired ultrasound images of the posterior side of bovine discs in the transverse plane throughout 0–0.5 mm of assigned axial compression at 0.3–0.5 Hz. Internal Green-Lagrangian strains were...

... behavior of the regenerated cartilaginous tissue, because these tissues need to bear various dynamic loadings in daily life. The objectives of this study were to evaluate in detail the dynamic viscoelastic responses of chondrocyte-seeded agarose gel cultures in compression and torsion (shear...

..., measured from 2% to 10% strain, was found to be strain dependent, indicating that cartilage is nonlinearly viscoelastic in tension. Under dynamic loading, the tensile modulus at 10 Hz was ∼ 2.3 times the value of the equilibrium modulus. In contrast, the dynamic stiffening ratio in unconfined compression...
