Loading conditions and induced stress ranges used to determine the stress dependency of the viscoelastic properties of cartilage.
Stress dependency | |||
---|---|---|---|
Induced Stress Range | Induced Stress Range (MPa) | Applied Load Range (N) | Dynamic Amplitude (N) |
Low | 0.09 – 1.04 | 2 – 22 | 20 |
Walking | 0.75 – 1.70 | 16 – 36 | 20 |
High | 3.06 – 4.00 | 65 – 85 | 20 |
