Articular cartilage lines synovial joints and functions as a low-friction deformable tissue to enable smooth and stable joint articulation. The objective of this study was to determine the relationships between cartilage stress-relaxation properties and the collagen and GAG NMR transverse relaxation times (T2) toward understanding mechanisms of cartilage viscoelasticity. Stress-relaxation tests were performed on both cultured and enzymatically digested bovine cartilage, followed by measurements of both the collagen and GAG T2using the Call–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill pulse sequence. The peak and equilibrium stresses were correlated with the GAG T2, and the stress-relaxation time constant was correlated with the collagen T2. Multiple linear regression models were successful in using the specific T2values to predict the stress-relaxation properties. As a model of osteoarthritis, enzymatic digestion with collagenase and testicular hyaluronidase had weak effects on T2values. These data present a complex picture of cartilage mechanical behavior, with cartilage stiffness associated with the GAG T2values and the stress-relaxation time constant associated with the collagen T2.
