Abstract

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 the physical reality, complicated parameterization and absence of the integrated activation dynamics. This study presents implementation of the extended four element Hill-type muscle model with serial damping and eccentric force--velocity relation including \$\$Ca^\2+\\$\$ C a 2 + dependent activation dynamics and internal method for physiological muscle routing.
