Abstract

The presented research summarizes the basic models with mathematical description regarding electrical behavior of the cartilage tissue. A preliminary numerical study involving electromechanical transduction in bovine cartilage tissue sample has been carried out using an open source finite element software. This research will provide scope for future research regarding electrical behavior of the cartilage tissue using open source software.

Keywords: cartilage; electrical properties; electrical stimulation; electromechanical transduction; streaming potential; tissue engineering.
