In this paper we report, clarify and broaden various recent efforts to complement the
chemistry-centered models of force generation in (skeletal) muscles by mechanics-centered …

Cardiac in silico numerical simulations are based on mathematical models describing the
physical processes involved in the heart function. In this review paper, we critically survey …

We propose four novel mathematical models, describing the microscopic mechanisms of
force generation in the cardiac muscle tissue, which are suitable for multiscale numerical …

The passive attributes of skeletal muscle “material” often have origins in nanoscale
architecture and functionality where geometric frustrations directly influence macroscale …

This paper deals with the mathematical model that describes the function of the human
heart. More specifically, it addresses the equations that express the electromechanical …

We introduce and study a variational model of two-dimensional structures describing a
reinforcing sheet, which is glued to a matrix: the glue and the matrix react elastically to …
