Toward Integrative Biomechanical Models of Osteochondral Tissues: A Multilayered Perspective by Bruna Silva, Marco Domingos, Sandra Amado, Juliana R. Dias, Paula Pascoal-Faria, Ana C. Maurício, Nuno Alves

“…Through critical comparison of existing mathematical models, the viscoelastic model is suggested as a pragmatic starting point for modeling articular cartilage zones, the tidemark, and the calcified cartilage layer, as it captures essential time-dependent behaviors such as creep and stress relaxation while ensuring computational efficiency for initial coupling studies. On the other hand, a linear elastic model was identified as an optimal starting point for both the subchondral bone plate and the subchondral trabecular bone, reflecting their dense and stiff nature, and providing a coherent framework for early-stage multilayer integration. …”
