A general closed-form solution for the so-called rebound indentation test' is obtained for a cylindrical flat-ended punch indenting a linear viscoelastic layer lying on a rigid substrate. Under the assumption of time-independent ...

A unilateral axisymmetric contact problem for a biphasic cartilage layer indented by a rigid punch is considered. The refined linearized kinetic relationship which takes into account both the radial and tangential displacements ...

A three-dimensional unilateral contact problem for articular cartilage layers is considered in the framework of the biphasic cartilage model. The articular cartilages bonded to subchondral bones are modelled as biphasic ...

We revisit the axisymmetric contact problem for a biphasic cartilage layer and consider a refined formulation taking into account the both normal and tangential displacements at the contact interface. The obtained analytical ...
