Computational simulation of the multiphasic degeneration of the bone-cartilage unit during osteoarthritis via indentation and unconfined compression tests

Abstract: It has been experimentally proposed that the discrete regions of articular cartilage, along with different subchondral bone tissues, known as the bone-cartilage unit, are biomechanically altered during osteoarthritis degeneration. However, a computational framework capturing all of the dominant changes in the multiphasic parameters has not yet been developed. This article proposes a new finite element model of the bone-cartilage unit by combining several validated, nonlinear, depth-dependent, fibril-reinforced… Show more

“…The articular cartilage was modeled using incompressible hyperelastic fibrils reinforced composites behavior described by Sajjadinia et al [ 31 ]. The Cauchy stress ( ) in the model used was decomposed into non-fibrillar ( ) and fibrillar ( ) parts as follows: where F and J are the deformation gradient tensor and the volumetric deformation, respectively.…”

“…The fibrils were oriented perpendicular to the subchondral junction and turned gradually in the middle zone to become parallel to the articular surface. For more details on the formulation of the material, please see prior works [ 31 , 32 ]. A list of the properties of the material is presented in Table 1 .…”

“…This way, the fibrillar components along with their rotations were taken into account using the constitutive equations implemented by the Fortran UMAT subroutine. Readers are referred to the previous study [21] for a more detailed explanation of the implementation of the AC model.…”

“…Material properties of AC have a marked impact on its biomechanics. The finite element (FE) method has been widely adopted to study the biomechanics of AC, which could help to understand the unique load-bearing and lubrication properties of AC, prevent or treat osteoarthritis as well as optimize the scaffold design in tissue engineering [2][3][4].…”
