摘要

The intervertebral disc is known to be a primary cause in many cases of low back pain, and an estimated 4.1 million Americans report intervertebral disc disorders annually. Knowledge of the mechanical behavior of the annulus is critical to understanding its relation to disc disorder. However, the annulus is a complex orthotropic material whose principal directions possess dramatically different stiffnesses, and as yet a three-dimensional predictive model for the annulus has not been established. While the annulus fibrosus is in a state of biaxial tension in vivo, no experiment to date has examined the behavior of the annulus in this state. A biaxial testing fixture was designed, built, and used to perform experiments on a thin sheet of annulus fibrosus. Uniaxial tension tests were also performed. The results were used to examine the relative importance of uniaxial and biaxial tensile data in the determination of a physiologically relevant strain energy function and to determine a rational approximation to the in-plane orthotropic elastic strain energy of the tissue in the physiologic domain. A powerful technique that simultaneously fits data from several biaxial experiments was utilized to determine possible strain energy functions. Both population and individual fits were calculated, and both polynomial and exponential forms of the strain energy function were examined.;It was determined that polynomial and exponential expressions fit the data equally well within the region of the stress-strain space over which they were calculated. The region of the stress-strain space covered by the biaxial tests was found to be different from that covered by the uniaxial tests and the strain energy functions determined by the different datasets were dissimilar. Uniaxial data, therefore, may not be used to predict the behavior of the annulus in biaxial tension. Since biaxial tests cover a more physiologically relevant domain, further study of the biaxial behavior of the annulus, and the adoption of a strain energy function based solely on biaxial data, is indicated.
