... poorly understood. In this paper, a finite element formulation is developed for the sliding contact of biphasic soft tissues. The augmented Lagrangian method is used to enforce the continuity of contact traction and fluid pressure across the contact interface. The resulting method is implemented...

... fluid-matrix interaction, we have developed a biphasic model formulation that simulates the transient heat transfer and volumetric expansion during freezing, its resulting fluid movement in the ET, elastic deformation of the solid matrix, and the corresponding pressure redistribution within. Treated...

... to systematically investigate the influence of fiber architecture on the apparent mechanical properties of charged soft tissues. Upon instantaneous loading, biphasic media react quasi-incompressible ( 30 ). In UC, this would result in high lateral expansions. It is expected, therefore, that under dynamic...

...Uwe-Jens Görke; Hubert Günther; Thomas Nagel; Markus A. Wimmer The reaction of articular cartilage and other soft tissues to mechanical loads has been characterized by coupled hydraulic (H) and mechanical (M) processes. An enhanced biphasic material model is presented, which may be used to describe...

...Sainath Shrikant Pawaskar; John Fisher; Zhongmin Jin Contact detection in cartilage contact mechanics is an important feature of any analytical or computational modeling investigation when the biphasic nature of cartilage and the corresponding tribology are taken into account. The fluid flow...

...Sureshkumar Kalyanam; Rebecca D. Yapp; Michael F. Insana Ultrasonic elasticity imaging enables visualization of soft tissue deformation for medical diagnosis. Our aim is to understand the role of flow-dependent and flow-independent viscoelastic mechanisms in the response of biphasic polymeric media...

... m ) requires special consideration of boundary conditions at lens surfaces and at the indenter contact region. In this study, a biphasic finite element model was developed to simulate the micro-indentation of a hydrogel contact lens. The model accounts for a curved, thin hydrogel membrane supported...

... and thickness of the cartilage layer. In this study, we developed a micro-indentation testing system to determine the compressive and biphasic mechanical properties of cartilage in the small joints of the mouse. A nonlinear optimization program employing a genetic algorithm for parameter estimation, combined...
