  • Abstract
    A coarse-grained bead-spring model of the annulus fibrosus is presented, and shown to be capable of qualitatively replicating experimental behavior. Stochastic elements built into this model enable the simulation of fatigue loading. Quantitative comparison with experiments is possible, after proper calibration has been accomplished.
