Table 4.

Elastic properties of bovine articular chondrocytes determined by the biphasic and spring-dashpot models [24].

continuum models elastic modulus (kPa)
biphasic model 1.38 ± 0.46a
spring-dashpot model 1.48 ± 0.35

aNote that the original aggregate modulus value of HA (2.58 kPa) for biphasic model is converted to the equilibrium modulus based on equation (3.13), with Poisson's ratio of 0.38 [25].
