Fluid pressure driven fibril reinforcement in creep and relaxation tests of articular cartilage.

Abstract:

:Biological tissues exhibit diverse mechanical behaviors because of complex material properties. As has been shown for ligaments and intervertebral discs, mathematical models often appear to well predict load responses individually by adjusting model parameters, but likely fail to describe several different load responses simultaneously using the same model parameters. In the present study, we attempted to describe and explain both creep and relaxation responses of articular cartilage using a fibril-reinforced model, which has been successfully used to account for the load response of the relaxation tests of articular cartilage. Experiments were performed on bovine articular cartilage disks (n=8) using multi-step loading protocols, involving both creep and relaxation in each protocol. The experimental results indicated that mechanical changes, such as fiber recruitment in collagen network during stretch, recovered fully upon unloading. Creep loading did not affect relaxation properties, and vice versa. Relaxation proceeded much faster than creep, because of different fluid pressure profiles. The load sharing among the proteoglycan matrix, collagen network and fluid pressurization was predicted to differ for the creep and relaxation testing. The experimentally observed strong creep and relaxation responses in unconfined compression could not be predicted if either fibril reinforcement or fluid pressurization were neglected. It was essential to consider the interplay between nonlinear fibril reinforcement and fluid pressurization for the transient response (this interplay may be best termed as fluid pressure driven fibril reinforcement). Fibril reinforcement played a relatively insignificant role in the compressive load response at equilibrium, in agreement with previous findings for cartilage stress relaxation testing.
