Biaxial testing of canine annulus fibrosus tissue under changing salt concentrations.
The in vivo mechanics of the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc is one of biaxial rather than uniaxial loading. The material properties of the annulus are intimately linked to the osmolarity in the tissue. This paper presents biaxial relaxation experiments of canine annulus fibrosus tissue under stepwise changes of external salt concentration. The force tracings show that stresses are ...
متن کاملA special theory of biphasic mixtures and experimental results for human annulus fibrosus tested in confined compression.
A finite deformation mixture theory is used to quantify the mechanical properties of the annulus fibrosus using experimental data obtained from a confined compression protocol. Certain constitutive assumptions are introduced to derive a special mixture of an elastic solid and an inviscid fluid, and the constraint of intrinsic incompressibility is introduced in a manner that is consistent with r...
متن کاملSpinal sections and regional variations in the mechanical properties of the annulus fibrosus subjected to tensile loading.
The annulus fibrosus is the primary load-bearing component of the intervertebral disc responsible for proper transfer of loads in the spine. The aim of this study was to determine selected mechanical parameters of multilayer specimens of the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc during uniaxial tensile loading. The anatomical location (anterior/posterior) of the test specimens of the annu...
متن کاملAnnulus fibrosus calcification of the mitral valve.
C ALCIUM deposition in diseased heart valves may be demonstrated frequently in necropsy studies, but these deposits are usually overlooked clinicaIIy unless the heart is carefuIly examined roentgenographically. Sosman1 discusses in detail a simple method of demonstrating the presence of calcific deposits within the heart by x-ray. He suggests a small fluoroscopic aperture and a screen of high i...
متن کاملModeling shear behavior of the annulus fibrosus.
Modeling the mechanical properties of the annulus fibrosus has two distinct challenges: the complex loading state experienced in vivo and the anisotropic, nonlinear nature of the tissue. Previous efforts to model the annulus fibrosus have not considered shear data in the analysis, yet the shear response may be critical to understanding tissue behavior and damage. In this study, we compared four...
