Abstract:The modeling of the lubrication of human ankle joint has been considered in this present research. Many parameters were carried out such as joint geometry parameters as (minimum film thickness h, radial clearance c, Eccentricity e), lubricant parameters as (synovial fluid viscusity μ, couple stress property η) and cartilage matrix parameters as (Ratio of microstructure size to pore β, Permeability of the cartilage ϕ, Porous layer thickness H). The effects of these parameters on the synovial fluid velocity, pre… Show more
