Viscoelastic behavior of articular cartilage in unconfined compression

Previous decades of cartilage research have predominantly focused on decoupling the solid and fluid interactions of the mechanical response. The resulting biphasic and triphasic models are widely used in the biomechanics community. However, a simple viscoelastic model is able to account for the st...
