The energy of muscle contraction. II. Transverse compression and work
D. S. Ryan, S. Domínguez, S. A. Ross +2
In this study we reproduced this compression-induced reduction in muscle force through the use of a three-dimensional finite element model of contracting muscle. The model used the…

The energy of muscle contraction. I. Tissue force and deformation during isometric contractions
J. M. Wakeling, S. A. Ross, D. S. Ryan +4
During contraction the energy of muscle tissue increases due to energy from the hydrolysis of ATP. This energy is distributed across the tissue as strain-energy potentials in the c…

Structural Changes of Active Skeletal Muscles: Modelling, Validation and Numerical Experiments
Hadi Rahemi, Nilima Nigam, James M. Wakeling
The purpose of this study was to report numerical validation of a 3D finite element model of contracting muscle. The model was based on continuum theory for fibre-reinforced compos…
