... analysis using polarized light and displacement measurements of the cartilage matrix and fluid using tracers. At surface pressures of up to approximately 1.5 MPa, there was reversible compression of the tangential surface fibers and immediately subjacent zone. As load increased, deformation in these zones...

... containing a SAE J211-1 compliant amplifier ( 10 × gain) and a single-pole low-pass ( 1.6 kHz ) buffered R C anti-aliasing filter prior to acquisition. Linear ram displacement measurements were made using a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) (model 490.01 LVDT...

... the capability of the new tester, flexural stiffness properties of sheep lumbar motion segments were evaluated together with a non-contact speckle displacement measurement system. The flexural stiffness of the specimens was measured and compared under constrained and non-constrained testing conditions...

... a calibrated traveling dial-gage arrangement and the same coordinate system used for the displacement measurements. Three indices were defined to quantify particular natural features of the three-dimensional topographies that are expected to control the patellar displacements. Correlation of the indices...
