The equations governing the electro-chemo-hydro-mechanical processes in cartilage are derived using the periodic homogenization technique. First the equations at the microscale are recalled. Then the homogenization technique is applied to propagate the physics to the macroscale. The results of this work and of the thermodynamical approach used by various authors are finally compared.
