A continuum model for skeletal muscle contraction at homogeneous finite deformations.
The contractile force in skeletal muscle models is commonly postulated to be the isometric force multiplied by a set of experimentally motivated functions which account for the muscle's active properties. Although both flexible and simple, this approach does not automatically guarantee a thermodynamically consistent behavior. In contrast, the continuum mechanical model proposed herein is derive...
متن کاملChemo-mechanical model for skeletal muscle contraction
Generation of force in skeletal muscle tissue depends on both chemical and mechanical phenomena. In this work, considering the kinetics of cross bridges, a one dimensional model has been proposed for predicting the isometric force according to the intracellular calcium ion distribution. Introduction The different ways of skeletal muscle activation lead to the formation of cross bridges (XB) acc...
متن کاملA mechanochemical 3D continuum model for smooth muscle contraction under finite strains.
This paper presents a modelling framework in which the mechanochemical properties of smooth muscle cells may be studied. The activation of smooth muscles is considered in a three-dimensional continuum model which is key to realistically capture the function of hollow organs such as blood vessels. On the basis of a general thermodynamical framework the mechanical and chemical phases are speciali...
متن کاملBiomimetic model of skeletal muscle isometric contraction: II. A phenomenological model of the skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling process
This paper describes a new macroscopic, phenomenological model of the skeletal muscle excitation-contraction coupling process, as represented by four principal and consecutive compartments (biophysical, biochemical, and biomechanical phases) characteristic of isometric excitation-contraction coupling in mammalian skeletal muscle, and coupled by a system of simultaneous, first-order linear ordin...
متن کاملFinite element model of intramuscular pressure during isometric contraction of skeletal muscle.
The measurement of in vivo intramuscular pressure (IMP) has recently become practical and IMP appears well correlated with muscle tension. A numerical model of skeletal muscle was developed to examine the mechanisms producing IMP. Unipennate muscle is modelled as a two-dimensional material continuum that is incompressible and nonlinearly anisotropic. The finite element technique is used to calc...
