In this paper, we present a new chemo-mechanical approach for the intrinsic osmo-inelastic response of the annulus fibrosus in relation to the microstructure of the layered reinforced soft tissue, the biochemical environment and the mechanical loading conditions. The constitutive model introduces the coupling between the deformation-induced inelastic stress in the tangled extracellular matrix and the stress-free swelling due to internal fluid content variation by osmosis. The proposed formulation is implemented into a finite element code, and numerical simulations on annulus specimens, including explicitly lamellae and interlamellar zones, are presented. To illustrate the capability of the approach to capture experimental observations quantitatively, the simulated results are compared to experimental results obtained by monitoring the full-field strain in annulus specimens using digital image correlation method. Some material constants are found by matching the free swelling in a water bath with different salt concentrations, and others are found by matching tensile results in terms of loading-unloading stress-stretch curve and transversal behavior. The constitutive model is found to successfully capture the variations in osmolarity and strain-rate conditions (both statistically significant, p < 0.05) on the intrinsic response and the auxeticity. The stress/strain patterns in the model simulation provide valuable insights into the role of the interlamellar zone in the osmo-inelastic mechanisms.Lire moins >
