Development of an experimental set-up for material characterization of articular cartilage

Articular cartilage is a very complex composite material, overlaying diarthrodial joints surfaces (e.g. knee, shoulder, temporomandibular, etc.), holding load bearing, lubrication and shock absorbing capabilities [1]. Characterization of articular cartilage material properties is necessary to study its mechanical response and consequently its impact on joints biomechanics [2]. Furthermore, the determination of articular cartilage material properties will contribute to advancements in tissue engineering applications, aiming to restore the tissue functionality after damage.
