Fixation and Mechanical Properties of Implanted Cartilage Replacements - An overview of three recently published papers

Submitted by Ali_Vahdati on

Partial- and
full-thickness cartilage lesions of the knee caused by trauma, disease or joint
instability are a common disorder affecting people of all ages. Implanted
cartilage replacements (ICR) have the potential to overcome the limitations of
conventional treatment methods and are a promising approach to restore
functionality of the joint. In spite of some success in engineering
cartilaginous tissue, inferior biomechanical and biochemical properties of ICR
compared to native articular cartilage (AC) and inadequate quality of fixation

how to model ply dropoffs using continuum shell in abaqus

Submitted by einsegelboot on

I am trying to model ply dropoffs of composite materials ,because I am working on a contact problem of bolted joint,so I choose continuum shell rather than shell ,but it seems that the ply thickness will change at a ply dropoff region. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?
