The nonlinear stress–strain data for articular cartilage can be described by a two-parameter (A,B) exponential stress–strain (σ -ε) relationship: σ = A[exp(Bε) − 1]. It can be used to:
A) Predict the deformation of cartilage under varying stress
B) Determine the tensile strength of cartilage
C) Analyze the compressive behavior of cartilage
D) Estimate the fatigue life of cartilage under cyclic loading
