Modelling extracellular matrix and cellular contributions to whole muscle mechanics
Fig 2
(A) Mesh of the geometry used for the numerical experiments. The geometry had dimensions 20cm × 6cm × 4cm and muscle fibre properties are orientated along the x axis. (B) Shear experiment setup. The −x face was constrained in all directions, while the +x face was constrained in the x direction only. The arrow represents direction of applied shear stress.
