A

4-16 hours

173
Q

What is biphasic stress relaxation response (2)

A
  1. Stress is increased until a given deformation is reached and deformation/strain is maintained
  2. Stress decreases under constant strain until equilibrium stress is reached
174
Q

What is fluid redistribution responsible for

A

Tissue stress relaxation

175
Q

Rapid redistribution of load throughout tissue reduces what

A

Peak stresses

176
Q

What is PG washout

A

Lose PG as we age, which decreases the repulsive nature of PGs

177
Q

What does PG washout result in

A

Pore size to be greater and shock absoprtion decreases

Non parallel force

185
Q

When is hydrostatic lubrication most effective

A

High loads

186
Q

What is hydrodynamic lubrication

A

Wedge of fluid is created when non parallel opposing surfaces slide on one another

187
Q

What does hydrodynamic lubrication cause

A

Lifting pressure occurs in wedge and increased viscosity keep surfaces apart

188
Q

What is an example of hydrodynamic lubrication

A

Hydroplaning

189
Q

What is squeeze film lubrication

A

Pressure created in fluid film by surfaces moving that are perpendicular to one another

When is squeeze film lubrication most effective

A

High loads and short duration

191
Q

What type of force causes squeeze film lubrication

A

Perpendicular orientation

192
Q

What happens during squeeze film lubrication

A

Fluid is squeezed out which increases viscosity of fluid

193
Q

What is elastohydrodynamic lubrication

A

Fluid film is maintained at a uniform thickness by elastic deformation of articular surfaces and adequate layer of fluid remains

194

A
  1. Adhesive wear
  2. Abrasive wear
  3. Fatigue wear
195
Q

What is adhesive wear

A

Osteochondritis dessicans

196
