At mechanical equilibrium, articular cartilage is usually characterized as an isotropic elastic material with no interstitial fluid flow. In this study, the equilibrium properties (Young's modulus. aggregate modulus and Poisson's ratio) of bovine humeral, patellar and femoral cartilage specimens (n = 26) were investigated using unconfined compression, confined compression, and indentation tests. Optical measurements of the Poisson's ratio of cartilage were also carried out, Mean values of the Young's modulus (assessed from the unconfined compression test) were 0.80 +/- 0.33, 0.57 +/- 0.17 and 0,31 +/- 0.18 MPa and of the Poisson's ratio (assessed from the optical test) 0.15 +/- 0.06. 0.16 +/- 0.05 and 0.21 +/- 0,05 for humeral, patellar, and femoral cartilages. respectively. The indentation tests showed 30-79% (p
