The purpose of this research is to develop a realistic time- dependent mechanical model of collagenous chains in ligaments, based on the measured mechanical response of a larger segment of a ligament, that can be used to develop global models for many different ligament morphologies. The mechanical behavior of the collagenous chain will be described by nonlinear viscoelastic models, and a computer program, that incorporates these material models and global ligament geometry, will be written to predict overall ligament behavior. This tool can be used to develop synthetic polymers that mimic ligaments, thereby contributing to the field of biomimetrics.

本研究的目的是基于测量的大段韧带的力学响应，建立一个真实的、依赖于时间的韧带胶原链的力学模型，该模型可以用来建立多种不同韧带形态的全局模型。胶原链的力学行为将由非线性粘弹性模型来描述，并将编写一个包含这些材料模型和全局韧带几何形状的计算机程序来预测整个韧带的行为。该工具可用于开发模拟韧带的合成聚合物，从而为生物计量学领域做出贡献。
