Specimen-specific analysis of maximum (ε1) and minimum (ε2) strain maps vs. osteophyte grade for cases “PSO-2” at full load for all loading conditions. CT reconstruction of each specimen (left) was used to grade osteophytes formations26. The asterisks (*) indicate the presence of strain intensification effects. The DIC strain maps have been obtained using the proprietary software Istra 4D (v4.3.1, Dantec Dynamics, Denmark; URL: https://www.dantecdynamics.com/).
