| Popis: |
Mechanical characterization of articular cartilage and cell-seeded hydrogel constructs is a challenging task due to the complex biphasic behavior of these materials. Here we describe a step-by-step unconfined compression testing protocol for inverse mechanical characterization of these materials from sample preparation to parameter identification. Examples from our ongoing experiments on alginate hydrogel constructs and preserved and damaged cartilage explants obtained from human hip samples are presented. |
