Muscle-Tendon Subtype

[klotz-t]

• This project is for an application (simulating electro-mechanical-delay, i.e. the time shift between muscle stimulation and the force response) of the multi-scale skeletal muscle model proposed by Heidlauf et al (2013,2014,2016,2017).
• The passive material behaviour is based on an isotropic Ogden-type material.
• The active model is based on Heidlauf et al (2016,2017), i.e. including force-enhancement.
• People Working on it: @klotz-t, @lau-schmid
• Working Branch: https://github.com/klotz-t/iron/tree/muscle_tendon_after_merge
• Further the branch contains a small modification of the material field (elasticity part) in the W_TITIN_SUBTYPE in order to reproduce all scenarios presented in Heidlauf et al 2017 without modification of the iron library/from one example.
