A simplified analytical solution has been obtained for the radial and tangential displacements on the surface of a thin, hemispherical layer of porous-elastic articular cartilage firmly bonded to a rigid foundation. A static pressure distributed according to a paraboloid of revolution is applied simulating cartilage compression by a porous indenter. The solution method is in the form of an asymptotic series and uses Laplace transforms. The analytical predictions are in qualitative agreement with the behaviour of biphasic articular cartilage reported in the literature. A direct comparison with numerical simulations using commercially available Finite Element Modelling (FEM) software was also carried out for conditions relevant to natural hip joints and the results show a good quantitative agreement overall.
