A model is proposed to assess mechanical behaviour of tissue engineering scaffolds and predict their performance "in vivo" during tissue regeneration. To simulate the growth of tissue inside the pores of the scaffold, the scaffold is swollen with a Poly (Vinyl alcohol) solution and subjected to repeated freezing and thawing cycles. In this way the Poly (Vinyl alcohol) becomes a gel whose stiffness increases with the number of freezing and thawing cycles. Mechanical properties of the construct immersed in water are shown to be determined, in large extent, by the water mobility constraints imposed by the gel filling the pores. This is similar to the way that water mobility determines mechanical properties of highly hydrated tissues, such as articular cartilage. As a consequence, the apparent elastic modulus of the scaffold in compression tests is much higher than those of the empty scaffold or the gel. Thus this experimental model allows assessing fatigue behaviour of the scaffolds under long-term dynamic loading in a realistic way, without recourse to animal experimentation. L.

The structure and functionality of tissue-engineered cartilage is determined by the tissue culture conditions and mechanical conditioning during growth. The quality of tissue-engineered cartilage may be evaluated using tests such as the confined compression test. Tissue-engineered cartilage constructs usually consist of an outer layer of cartilage and an inner core of either undeveloped cartilage or degrading scaffold material. In this paper, a biphasic poroelastic finite element model is used to demonstrate how such a core influences the reaction force vs. time curve obtained from a confined compression test. The finite element model predicts that higher volumes of degraded scaffold in the inner reduces the aggregate modulus calculated from the confined compression test and raises the estimate of tissue's permeability.The predicted aggregate modulus reduces from 0.135 MPa for a homogenous construct, to 0.068 MPa for a construct that is only 70% cartilaginous. We find that biphasic poroelastic finite modelling should be used in preference to a onedimensional model which assumes homogeniety in estimating the properties of tissueengineered cartilage.

“…For cartilage, an internal friction is produced by the viscous drag caused when interstitial fluid flows through the porous-permeable solid matrix (Kwan, Lai et al 1984). Ploughing friction is a specific form of internal friction and occurs in diarthrodial joints when a load moves across a joint surface causing interstitial fluid flow (Linn 1967).…”
