...Jiang Yao; Paul D. Funkenbusch; Jason Snibbe; Mike Maloney; Amy L. Lerner This study investigated the role of the material properties assumed for articular cartilage, meniscus and meniscal attachments on the fit of a finite element model (FEM) to experimental data for meniscal motion...

...Evan A. Zamir; Larry A. Taber Microindentation methods are commonly used to determine material properties of soft tissues at the cell or even sub-cellular level. In determining properties from force-displacement (FD) data, it is often assumed that the tissue is initially a stress-free, homogeneous...
