Implementation and validation of the extended Hill-type muscle model with robust routing capabilities in LS-DYNA for active human body models

Abstract Background In the state of the art finite element AHBMs for car crash analysis in the LS-DYNA software material named *MAT_MUSCLE (*MAT_156) is used for active muscles modeling. It has three elements in parallel configuration, which has several major drawbacks: restraint approximation of th...
