An alternative model for contact interaction of mating bones with soft articular cartilage at synovial joints
2020, Mechanism and Machine TheoryCitation Excerpt :Synovial joints in the human body have soft articular cartilage layer between their mating bones. The average thickness of this layer of soft tissue varies from 1 mm for non-weight bearing joints to 7 mm for larger weight-bearing joints [12]. This articular cartilage provides a well-lubricated load-bearing surface with a very low coefficient of friction.
