Abstract

Creep data of uni-axial confined compression experiments on anulus fibrosus specimens taken from the canine intervertebral disc are presented. The loading protocol consisted of a combination of mechanical and chemical loading. Dimensionless displacement as a function of dimensionless time showed great similarity for all 12 specimens tested in both conditions, despite differences in spinal level, region and orientation. The product of permeability and stiffness seems to be larger in axial direction than in radial direction.
