Annulus fibrosus functional extrafibrillar and fibrous mechanical behaviour: experimental and computational characterisation

The development of current surgical treatments for intervertebral disc damage could benefit from virtual environment accounting for population variations. For such models to be reliable, a relevant description of the mechanical properties of the different tissues and their role in the functional mec...
