✦ Synopsis

Application of the ΓΏnite element method to Koiter's asymptotic postbuckling theory often leads to numerical problems. Generally it is believed that these problems are due to locking of non-linear terms of di erent orders. A general method is given here that explains the reason for the numerical problems and eliminates these problems. The reason for the numerical problems is that the postbuckling stresses are inaccurately determined. By including a local stress contribution, the postbuckling stresses are calculated correctly. The present method gives smooth postbuckling stresses and shows a quick convergence of the postbuckling coe cients.

We present a numerical algorithm for the determination of muscle response by the ΓΏnite element method. Hill's three-element model is used as a basis for our analysis. The model consists of one linear elastic element, coupled in parallel with one non-linear elastic element, and one non-linear contrac
