Effect of strain on actomyosin kinetics in isometric muscle fibers.
Investigations were conducted into the biochemical and mechanical states of cross-bridges during isometric muscle contraction. Rapid length steps (3 or 6 nm hs(-1)) were applied to rabbit psoas fibers, permeabilized and isometric, at either 12 degrees C or 20 degrees C. Fibers were activated by photolysis of P(3)-1-(2-nitrophenyl)-ethyl ester of ATP infused into rigor fibers at saturating Ca(2+...
متن کاملThe Effect of Matrix Bond Failure on Stress Distribution in Short and Long Fibers of a Hybrid Composite Lamina
Abstract : The effect of a bond failure and its extent is studied on stress concentration in long fibers as well as stress distribution in short fibers and their surrounding matrix bays. The material is assumed to be a finite width hybrid composite lamina which is subjected to a tensile load of magnitude "P" at infinity. The surrounding matrix is assumed to take only shear (shear-lag theory). T...
متن کاملElucidation of extracellular matrix mechanics from muscle fibers and fiber bundles.
The importance of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in muscle is widely recognized, since ECM plays a central role in proper muscle development (Buck and Horwitz, 1987), tissue structural support (Purslow, 2002), and transmission of mechanical signals between fibers and tendon (Huijing, 1999). Since substrate biomechanical properties have been shown to be critical in the biology of tissue developm...
متن کاملA Hybrid Stress Plane Element with Strain Field
In this paper, a plane quadrilateral element with rotational degrees of freedom is developed. Present formulation is based on a hybrid functional with independent boundary displacement and internal optimum strain field. All the optimality constraints, including being rotational invariant, omitting the parasitic shear error and satisfying Fliepa’s pure bending test, are considered. Moreover, the...
متن کاملPostmortem Changes in Muscle Extracellular Matrix Proteins
It has long been recognized that meat tenderness is related to both the components inside the muscle fibers (predominantly the myofibril) and the connective tissues surrounding the fibers (predominantly collagen). It has also been shown that the tenderness of meat increases with time of storage postmortem. Most work attempting to determine the mechanism of this postmortem tenderization has conc...
