Other Fatigue Effects IE 553
Joints Types of joints: • Synovial – articulating surfaces, surrounded by capsule (shoulder, knee) • Fibrous – fibers bridge gap (skull) • Cartilage – cartilage bridges gap (vertebral discs in spinal column) IE 553
Synovial Joint • Cartilage (cells 2%) • Collagen fibers (60%) • Proteoglycan gel (38%) • Poor regeneration • Liquid (synovial fluid) • Decreases friction • Through lubrication • Hydrostatic • Squeeze film • Hydrodynamic IE 553
Vertebral Column IE 553
Intervertebral Discs • Role in body • Cushion impacts • Deform under loads • Transfer of fluids • Degeneration • Microfractures at high loads • Loss of fluids/solids • Drying up • Weakening of fibers • Catastrophic extrusion IE 553
