Fatigue strength of bovine articular cartilage-on-bone under three-point bending: the effect of loading frequency

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to determine the influence of loading frequency on the failure of articular cartilage-on-bone specimens under three-point bending. Methods In this study, cyclic three-point bending was used to introduce failure into cartilage-on-bone specimens at v...
