When muscles contract, they bulge in thickness or in width to maintain a (nearly) constant
volume. These dynamic shape changes are tightly linked to the internal constraints placed …

Skeletal muscle bulges when it contracts. These three-dimensional (3D) dynamic shape
changes play an important role in muscle performance by altering the range of fascicle …

Understanding the structure and function of skeletal muscle furthers our understanding of
body mechanics. Mathematical muscle models are useful for studying muscle mechanics …

Research has shown that factors such as the contraction of surrounding muscle, resistance
to radial expansion, and external transverse loading have an effect on the way that muscle …

Skeletal muscle is the engine that produces force to power movement in humans and
animals alike. To date the invasive nature of obtaining muscle-tendon forces in humans has …
