The model prediction of the ramp tension and relaxation for articular cartilage under 10% tensile strain at various strain rates using a model from the literature (Eq. 33 ). The predicted peak stress was almost the same for all strain-rates. The material properties were adopted from the literature [27]: g i (i = 1, 2, or 3) were 0.870, 0.036 and 0.273 (dimensionless) respectively; and τ i were 10, 100 and 1000 seconds respectively.
