Compression-rate-dependent nonlinear mechanics of normal and impaired porcine knee joints

Abstract Background The knee joint performs mechanical functions with various loading and unloading processes. Past studies have focused on the kinematics and elastic response of the joint with less understanding of the rate-dependent load response associated with viscoelastic and poromechanical beh...
