A comparison between active strain and active stress in transversely isotropic hyperelastic materials

G Giantesio, A Musesti, D Riccobelli - Journal of Elasticity, 2019 - Springer
Active materials are media for which deformations can occur in absence of loads, given an
external stimulus. Two approaches to the modeling of such materials are mainly used in …

Activation of a muscle as a mapping of stress–strain curves

D Riccobelli, D Ambrosi - Extreme Mechanics Letters, 2019 - Elsevier
The mathematical modeling of the contraction of a muscle is a crucial problem in
biomechanics. Several different models of muscle activation exist in literature. A possible …
