Utilizing finite element analysis and computational modeling, I focus on implementing a detailed model of skeletal muscle tissue mechanical behavior developed at our institute. This model incorporates essential features of muscle tissue, such as fiber orientation and microstructure, and accurately captures the highly nonlinear, anisotropic properties of skeletal muscle. This work involves:
• Material Model Development: Implementing and refining constitutive equations to describe the passive mechanical response of skeletal muscle tissue under various loading conditions.
• Computational Implementation: Integrating the developed material model into the finite element LS-Dyna framework, addressing challenges related to element type, time integration, and computational efficiency.
• Large-Scale Simulations: Applying the muscle model to simulations of entire muscles or musculoskeletal systems.
