## Abstract In the present paper a new approach for the modelling of fatigue effects in skeletal muscle is proposed. This concept is micromechanically motivated. It incorporates the intramuscular connective tissue (passive part of the material) which surrounds the contractile muscle fibres (active
Skeletal muscles are the primary unit for the movement of the human body, they serve as shock absorber and protect the skeleton system against external loads. By maintaining a certain force level, muscle show fatigue effects, expressed by a decrease of the retentive force. To incorporate such effect
In the present paper, a "nite-element model for simulating muscle mechanics is described. Based on nonlinear continuum mechanics an algorithm is proposed that includes the contractile active and passive properties of skeletal muscle. Stress in the muscle is assumed to result from the superposition o
The traditional Finite Element Method, when applied to the micro-and nanoscale, lacks of contemplating stress on surfaces. In macroscopic mechanics, stress is a prerogative of bulks as displayed by the standard form of Principle of Virtual Work (PVW). On the other hand, the progressive increase of s
