Abstract
The composition of articular cartilage changes with progression of osteoarthritis. Since compositional changes are associated with changes in the mechanical properties of the tissue, they are relevant for understanding how mechanical loading induces progression. The objective of this study is to present a computational model of articular cartilage which enables to study the interaction between composition and mechanics.
