Sentence examples for modulus of cartilage from inspiring English sources

In this study, an approximation of the Young's modulus was used: the 'instantaneous' compressive modulus of cartilage (E c ) (Shepherd and Seedhom 1999).

The amount of bone formation at early, mid and late phases of healing, the time until complete healing and the mechanical stability were all mostly dependent on three material properties; permeability of granulation tissue, Young's modulus of cartilage and permeability of immature bone.

The intensity of group N is proportional to the Young modulus of cartilage.

From the three equations above, the Young modulus of cartilage, E, is given by the following: The reflectance of cartilage in saline, R, is nearly 0.10.

The reduced proteoglycan content decreases compressive modulus of cartilage and consequently exposes the tissue to greater strains when exposed to mechanical stress.

The rate of change of osmotic pressure with compressive strain is found to contribute approximately one-third of the compressive modulus (HeffA) of cartilage (Π∼HeffA/3), with the balance contributed by the intrinsic structural modulus of the solid matrix (i.e., HA∼2HA∼2A/3).

No correlation was found between articular cartilage thickness and the values of the constants A and B. The loss modulus of articular cartilage was much less than the storage modulus over all frequencies tested and showed no dependence on frequency.

Ultrasonic indentation methods are capable of determining the cartilage thickness and deformation, and can therefore be used to determine the Young's modulus of articular cartilage.

The tensile modulus of articular cartilage is much larger than its compressive modulus.

The elastic equilibrium modulus of the cartilage improved with time with the greatest improvement (10-fold) occurring early during the first 3 4 months after implantation.

Furthermore, collagen II synthesis has been shown to be reduced in articular chondrocytes harvested from a large animal species exposed to radiation [9], and if radiation alters cartilage matrix metabolism, including the active degradation of proteoglycans or lowered proteoglycan or collagen II synthesis, reductions in the compressive modulus of irradiated cartilage would be expected.
