“…Recently, FEM has been used in the biomechanical analysis of human body irregularities and in improving implants in orthopedics. There are many studies in the literature Hajiaghamemar et al 2020;Schwaner et al 2020;Imeni et al 2020; Chandra and Pandey 2022; . This research will be devoted to three most frequent activities such as descending stairs, lifting and sitting on a chair.…”

The post-operative period for a carrier of total hip prosthesis (THP), especially in the first months, remains the most difficult period for a patient after each operation, even if traumatologist surgeons want the relief and success of their operations. In this investigation, selected three of the daily activities for a wearer of total hip replacement (THR), such as, sitting in a chair, lifting a chair and going down stairs, and was performed a numerical simulation by finite elements in based on experimental data by Bergmann (Bergmann 2001) in terms of effort for each activity. Different stresses have been extracted, as well as a detailed comparison between two activities with different induced stresses such as normal, tensile and compressive shear stresses.

Structurally, the articular cartilages are heterogeneous owing to nonuniform distribution and orientation of its constituents. The oversimplification of this soft tissue as a homogeneous material is generally considered in the simulation domain to estimate contact pressure along with other physical responses. Hence, there is a need for investigating knee cartilages for their actual response to external stimuli. In this article, impact of material and geometrical heterogeneity of the cartilage is resolved using well known material models. The findings are compared with conventional homogeneous models. The results indicate vital differences in contact pressure distribution and tissue deformation. Further, this study paves way for standardizing material models to extract maximum information possible for investigating knee mechanics with variable geometry and case specific parameters.

“…Therefore, in this paper, we employed an SHG via MPM-enabled imaging of collagen fiber morphology to obtain data for constitutive modeling. A wide variety of numerical models of the meniscus tissue have been reported, ranging from simple isotropy to complex anisotropy consideration (Imeni et al, 2020;Elmukashfia et al, 2022). Previous mechanical studies suggested a plane of isotropy for the material properties (Chia and Hull, 2008), which led to models that took transverse isotropy into account (Spilker et al, 1992;LeRoux and Setton, 2002).…”

“…The formulation of tissue mechanical behavior led to the development of constitutive models, which are mathematical frameworks based on fundamental physical principles. These models aid in understanding structure-function relationships and, as a result, help predict the mechanical response of the tissue to different loading ( Imeni et al, 2020 ). These are valuable in medical applications such as tissue engineering and the design of synthetic replacement alternatives ( Kahlon et al, 2015 ).…”

In this paper, we examine the region- and layer-specific collagen fiber morphology via second harmonic generation (SHG) in combination with planar biaxial tension testing to suggest a structure-based constitutive model for the human meniscal tissue. Five lateral and four medial menisci were utilized, with samples excised across the thickness from the anterior, mid-body, and posterior regions of each meniscus. An optical clearing protocol enhanced the scan depth. SHG imaging revealed that the top samples consisted of randomly oriented fibers with a mean fiber orientation of 43.3o. The bottom samples were dominated by circumferentially organized fibers, with a mean orientation of 9.5o. Biaxial testing revealed a clear anisotropic response, with the circumferential direction being stiffer than the radial direction. The bottom samples from the anterior region of the medial menisci exhibited higher circumferential elastic modulus with a mean value of 21 MPa. The data from the two testing protocols were combined to characterize the tissue with an anisotropic hyperelastic material model based on the generalized structure tensor approach. The model showed good agreement in representing the material anisotropy with a mean r2 = 0.92.
