Bulk Modulus of Cartilage

Overall purposes of the project are:

1) To provide free access to a three-dimensional finite element representation of the knee joint

2) Open development of a knee model for collaborative testing and use

Bulk Modulus of Cartilage

Post by Mohsen Sharifi » Tue Jul 21, 2015 12:00 pm

Hello,

My question seems very simple but I really being confused about the
Bulk modulus selected for the cartilage. In
http://wiki.simtk.org/openknee/GenerationOne you selected Bulk modulus
K=20.833 but in your model and attached word guide is K=8.
Which one is correct and how did you get that value.

By using this equation: K=E/3*(1-2*v) it should be 20.833.

I am trying to develop a new model but I got confused about this value. So
I would be appreciated if you could help me in this case.

Thanks,
Mohsen
