A novel computational modelling to describe the anisotropic, remodelling and reorientation behaviour of collagen fibres in articular cartilage

In articular cartilage the orientation of collagen fibres is not uniform varying mostly with the depth of the tissue. Besides, the biomechanical response of each layer of the articular cartilage differs from the neighbouring ones, evolving through thickness as a function of the distribution, density a...
