Abstract
This paper explores the contact of soft elastic and poroelastic bodies rotating under load and inspects the differences in load carrying capacity between the two types of material. Both materials have been widely used to describe the behaviour of biological systems such as articular cartilage in mammalian joints, however, we demonstrate here that there are fundamental differences between the responses generated in which the poroelastic response has an additional fluid contribution to the solid structural response. In order to produce the same load carrying capacity it is shown that the poroelastic material must deform more than an incompressible soft elastic material with the same stiffness and that the solid load generated by a poroelastic material is the same as a soft elastic material with a zero Poisson’s ratio.
