The fundamental fluid transport mechanisms in a cavity of a joint and the deformation of the bearing surfaces are important for the understanding of the bio-mechanical process involved in the physiology of normal and pathological synovial joints. We present here a study of elasto-rheodynamic lubrication of a self-acting dynamically loaded bearing which employs a porous, elastic material (articular cartilage) and a visco-elastic non-linear lubricant (synovial fluid). The tangible solution of the model is, finally, subjected to the resolution of a non-linear integral equation. Important conclusion is drawn from the results obtained for bearing characteristics which show the self-adjusting nature of human joints.
关节腔中的基本流体传输机制以及关节面的变形对于理解正常和病理滑膜关节生理学中涉及的生物力学过程至关重要。我们在此展示一项关于自作用动态加载轴承的弹流润滑研究，该轴承采用多孔弹性材料（关节软骨）和粘弹性非线性润滑剂（滑液）。最后，该模型的具体解要经过一个非线性积分方程的求解。从所获得的轴承特性结果中得出了重要结论，这些结果显示了人体关节的自我调节特性。
