Table 2 Material properties of ligaments, IVD collagen fibers, and facet cartilages for C2-C3 FSU model. E = Young Modulus, ν = Poisson Ratio

From: The importance of intervertebral disc material model on the prediction of mechanical function of the cervical spine

Ligaments (Prony Series Viscoelastic Model), \( {\boldsymbol{g}}_{\boldsymbol{R}}=\mathbf{1}-{\sum}_{\boldsymbol{i}=\mathbf{1}}^{\mathbf{3}}{\boldsymbol{g}}_{\boldsymbol{i}}\left(\mathbf{1}-{\boldsymbol{e}}^{-\frac{\boldsymbol{t}}{{\boldsymbol{\tau}}_{\boldsymbol{i}}}}\right) \)
