Dynamic Response of Vertebral Elements Response of the Intervertebral Joint to Torsion.

Abstract

Creep response obtained from torsional stress tests of the intervertebral joint are used to develop an analytical model. A series chain of four Kelvin units was found to provide an excellent representation of the visoelastic properties of the material. (Author)
