Abstract:
:In the present work, mechano-geometrical characterisations of skeletal muscle fibres in two different deformation states, namely, axial tension and axial compression, were realised. In both cases, cyclic and relaxation tests were performed. Additionally, the changes in the volume of the fibres during deformation were recorded to obtain more detailed information about the muscle fibre load transfer mechanisms. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the present experimental investigation of the mechanical and geometrical characteristics of muscle fibres provides a novel comprehensive data set that can be used to obtain a better understanding of muscle fibre load transfer mechanisms and to construct meaningful models. In the present study, it is shown that muscle fibres exhibit incompressibility (5% volume decrease at maximum deformation) under tension and that this feature is more pronounced under compression loading (37% volume decrease at maximum deformation). These findings are particularly interesting and lead to a further understanding of load transfer mechanisms and to the development of new modelling strategies.
