Normalised tendon force as a function of normalised tendon length
(tendon length / tendon slack length): zero below slack, rising steeply to
one maximum-isometric-force at the reference strain.
Usage
tendonForceLength(norm_tendon_length, e0t = 0.04, kt = 3)
Arguments
- norm_tendon_length
Tendon length divided by tendon slack length.
- e0t
Tendon strain at maximum isometric force (default 0.04).
- kt
Exponential stiffness shape (default 3).
Value
Normalised tendon force (>= 0).
Examples
tendonForceLength(c(1.0, 1.02, 1.04))
