Donor/recipient Young’s modulus combinations evaluated in the homogeneous linear elastic models

Configuration	DC/RC Young’s modulus (MPa/MPa)	Number
Stiffness matched	7.0/7.0	1
Donor stiffer	7.0/6.0, 7.0/5.0, 7.0/4.0, 7.0/3.0, 7.0/2.5	5
Recipient stiffer	6.0/7.0, 5.0/7.0, 4.0/7.0, 3.0/7.0, 2.5/7.0	5

Eleven donor/recipient (DC/RC) Young’s Modulus combinations were evaluated for each D/R thickness ratio: one matched 7.0/7.0 MPa condition, five conditions with donor cartilage fixed at 7.0 MPa, and five conditions with recipient cartilage fixed at 7.0 MPa
