X Abstract

We present a computational model to simulate the skeletal muscle deformation during muscle contraction. This model includes a detailed description of the skeletal muscle architecture, non-linear properties of muscle tissue, novel features in the active muscle constitutive equations, and geometric constraints that can be enforced through Lagrange multipliers. The proposed muscle model predicts fibre forces based on the principle of virtual work, along with appropriate geometric constraints using a non-linear finite element analysis. This computational model introduces methods to produce realistic skeletal muscle deformation to be used in computer animation applications, and to study muscle function in biomechanical applications. Our model is sufficiently general to be applied in other non-linear soft tissues with different material properties. In order to exemplify its generality, the model is applied to different structural arrangements of individual skeletal muscles

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
