On the characteristics of natural hydraulic dampers: An image-based approach to study the fluid flow behaviour inside the human meniscal tissue [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The meniscal tissue is a layered material with varying properties influenced by collagen content and arrangement. Understanding the relationship between structure and properties is crucial for disease management, treatment development, and biomaterial design. The internal layer of the meniscus is softer and more deformable than the outer layers, thanks

Physically based 3D finite element model of a single mineralized collagen microfibril [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 301 (2012) 28-41, 2012 Mineralized collagen microfibrils in human bone provide its mechanical properties (stiffness, elasticity, ductility, energy dissipation and strength). However, detailed 3D finite element models describing the mechanical behaviour of the mineralized collagen microfibrils are still lacking.
