Creep testing. Systematic review of (A) creep stress and (B) creep relaxation time (logarithmic scale). Mean presented with black line, and values used for validation testing presented with green dashed line. (C) Four cartilage samples showing creep response (strain in mm/mm) with time after application of a stress of 100 kPa. (D) Calculated equilibrium modulus, contact modulus, and aggregate modulus of cartilage tissues from creep testing. Color images are available online.
