This paper reports the first comprehensive data set on the anisotropic mechanical properties
of isolated endo-and perimysial extracellular matrix of skeletal muscle, and presents the …

Understanding passive skeletal muscle mechanics is critical in defining structure–function
relationships in skeletal muscle and ultimately understanding pathologically impaired …

The goal of this study was to characterize the passive elastic behaviour of muscle and
tendon tissues of rat tibialis anterior. For that purpose, tissue samples from 3 month old …

The mechanics of passive skeletal muscle are important in impact biomechanics, surgical
simulation, and rehabilitation engineering. Existing data from porcine tissue has shown a …

This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element model of skeletal muscle and its
validation incorporating inital tissue strains. A constitutive relation was determined by using …
