Exponential passive element (Thelen 2003): zero below optimal length, rising as the fiber is stretched beyond it.

Usage

forceLengthPassive(norm_len, k_pe = 4, e0 = 0.6)

Arguments

norm_len

Normalised fiber length.

k_pe

Exponential shape (default 4).

e0

Passive strain at maximum isometric force (default 0.6).

Value

Passive multiplier (>= 0).
