In order to predict deformations and internal stresses of articular cartilage replacement material, two viscoelastic diffusion models are proposed in the present study. Also, the remodeling effect of the material seeded with human cells is verified experimentally. (© 2009 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
