LESKOVAN, Tomáš. Analysis of mechanical response of joint cartilage. Ostrava, 2024, Bachelor’s Thesis. Ostrava: VSB – Technical university of Ostrava, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Applied Mechanics. 73 p., Thesis supervisor: doc. Ing. Stanislav Polzer, Ph.D. The bachelor’s thesis deals with FEM analysis of articular cartilage. The introduction describes articular cartilage from an anatomical point of view and its material and mechanical properties. In the second part, there is a research regarding different kinds of constitutive models for the simulation of articular cartilage. In the third part, the analytical solution of the poroelastic material for the drained and undrained test is performed. The last part of the thesis deals with the idealized model and its analysis under constant and cyclic loading. Finally, the results obtained by the FEM model are discussed.
