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

## Abstract The structure of a skeletal muscle is dominated by its hierarchical architecture in which thousands of muscle fibres are arranged within a connective tissue network. The single muscle fibres consist of many force‐producing cells, known as sarcomeres. These micro biological engines are p
A quantitati¨e ¨alidation procedure for comparisons of modeled and experimental data is described. This produces se¨eral le¨els of information, from a straightforward numerical assessment to detailed diagnostic data. Results show that this method has significant ad¨antages o¨er a ¨isual approach in
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
