Abstract
AbstractArticular cartilage is a multiphase material consisting of fluids and electrolytes, which is described with the Theory of Porous Media. The mechanical characteristics of articular cartilage are porosity, incompressible material behavior combined with transversely isotropic behavior for solid and fluid phases. There are two central points to model articular cartilage: the poro‐viscosity of the porous matrix and the visco elasticity, and orientation of the collagen fibers. A numerical example is presented.
