Mechanical parameters of hard and soft tissues are explicit markers for quantitative tissue characterization. In this study, we present a comparison of biphasic material properties of equine articular cartilage estimated from stress relaxation (ε = 6 %, t = 1000 s) and creep indentation tests (F = 0.1 N, t = 1000 s). A biphasic 3D-FE-based method is used to determine the biomechanical properties of equine articular cartilage. The FE-model computation was optimized by exploiting the axial symmetry and mesh resolution. Parameter identification was executed with the Levenberg- Marquardt-algorithm. Additionally, sensitivity analyses of the calculated biomechanical parameters were performed. Results show that the Young’s modulus E has the largest influence and the Poisson’s ratio of ν ≤ 0.1 is rather insensitive. The R² of the fit results varies between 0.882 and 0.974 (creep model) and between 0.695 and 0.930 (relaxation model). The averaged parameters E and k determined from the creep model yield higher values in comparison to the relaxation model. The differences can be traced back to the experimental settings and to the biphasic material model.
