Articular cartilage has been shown to exhibit large transverse contractions when loaded in tension, suggesting the existence of large values for the Poisson's ratio. Previous studies have suggested that this effect is dependent on amplitude of applied strain, so that a single Poisson's ratio mail not be sufficient to describe cartilage behavior In this study, the Poisson ratio (v), toe region modulus (E-0), and linear region modulus (E) of human patellar articular cartilage were calculated in simple tension tests from optical analysis of the two-dimensional strain fields at equilibrium. The Poisson's ratio was found to be independent of strain due to the absence of viscoelastic effects during testing. The Poisson's ratio was found to be significantly higher in the surface zone (1.87+/-1.11, p
