Abstract
The mechanics involved in contraction, deformation and perfusion of skeletal muscle tissue has been described using the theory of mixtures. The tissue is considered as a mixture of a solid and a fluid component representing the blood, and is subdivided into a continuous series of compartments that correspond to vascular compartments. A finite element formulation has been developed and implemented in the DIANA software package. A simulation of an isometric contraction of a perfused skeletal muscle has been performed.
