Analysis of Linear Poroelastic Properties in Labrum and Cartilage Under Load Conditions
This study investigates the material properties of labrum and cartilage, focusing on their linear poroelastic characteristics, transversely isotropic nature, and strain-dependent permeability. The analysis includes two scenarios: resected and intact labrum, utilizing CAX4P axisymmetric bilinear elements for the mesh. Key findings encompass contact stresses on femoral cartilage, fluid velocity vectors, and maximum in-plane true strain under a 190 lbs load. Additionally, we identify boundary condition problems leading to stress concentrations that hinder the application of higher loads.
