Knee Walking Curves

Ethier and Simmons

Determination of Joint Loading

• Significant number of variables

• Timing of load application

e.g. muscle activation

• Indeterminate system

(too many unknowns)

• Difficulties measuring tissue

loads in situ or in vivo

• Compression (bone / cartilage)

• Tension (muscle / tendon)

• Tension (ligament)

Why is it important to measure /

determine joint loads?

• Natural loading environment of joint tissues.

• Effect of altered mechanics, injury or disease

on joint loading.

• Predict need for repair / replacement

• Understand effect of repair / replacement

• Engineer suitable implants or biological

alternatives.

2. Wear and Fatigue


4. Viscoelasticity

• Wear Failure

• A structure loaded repetitively in shear

will sustain cumulative damage resulting

in attrition and loss of the surface.

http://www.iti.northwestern.edu/research

/a_projects/bridges/hoan.html

2) Wear and Fatigue

Failure Mechanisms

http://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=909

• Fatigue (Cyclic) Failure

• A structure loaded repetitively below its

monotonic failure force, will accumulate

microscopic damage leading to crack

formation, loss of strength and eventual

fracture

2) Wear and Fatigue

In bone, cracks are repaired by osteonal remodeling

2) Wear and Fatigue

In implants, fatigue and wear are the

most common failure mechanisms

E.g., UHMWPE implant wear rapidly

compared to metal-on-metal (MoM)

implants

Poisson’s Effect – lateral deflection due to axial load

2) Directional Properties

E.g., elastic band E.g., balloon

2) Poisson’s Effect

– Loading of the Intervertebral Disc

• Nucleus pulposus is always under

compression and carries the majority

of compressive load

• Annulus fibrosis carries load through

hoop stress

Whiting and Zernicke, 1998

Bartel et al., 2006


• Isotropic:Material properties are the same regardless of direction (do not depend on direction of load)

• e.g., metals, glass, plastics

• Anisotropic:Material properties depend on loading direction

• e.g., wood, bone, ligament, meniscus, cartilage

• anisotropy governed by microstructure (e.g., fibril structures, lamellar growth)
