Detailed Description

This class implements a configurable equilibrium muscle model, as described in Millard et al. (2013).

An equilibrium model assumes that the forces generated by the fiber and tendon are equal:

\[ f_{ISO}\Big(\mathbf{a}(t) \mathbf{f}_L(\hat{l}_{CE}) \mathbf{f}_V(\hat{v}_{CE}) + \mathbf{f}_{PE}(\hat{l}_{CE}) + \beta \hat{v}_{CE}\Big) \cos \phi - f_{ISO}\mathbf{f}_{SE}(\hat{l}_{T}) = 0 \]

fig_Millard2012EquilibriumMuscle.png

This model can be simulated in several configurations by adjusting three flags:

  • ignore_tendon_compliance: set to true to make the tendon rigid. This assumption is usually reasonable for short tendons, and can result in a performance improvement by eliminating high-frequency dynamics and removing the fiber length from the state vector.
  • ignore_activation_dynamics: set to true to use the excitation input as the activation signal. This results in faster simulations by reducing the size of the state vector.
  • fiber_damping: set to a value greater than 0.001 to include fiber damping in the model. The addition of damping reduces simulation time while allowing the muscle model to be more physiological (it can have an activation of zero, its active-force-length curve can go to zero, and its force-velocity curve can be asymptotic).

Elastic Tendon, No Fiber Damping

The most typical configuration used in the literature is to simulate a muscle with an elastic tendon, full fiber dynamics, and activation dynamics. The resulting formulation suffers from three singularities: $\mathbf{a}(t) \rightarrow 0$, $\phi \rightarrow 90^\circ$, and $ \mathbf{f}_L(\hat{l}_{CE}) \rightarrow 0 $. These situations are all handled in this model to ensure that it does not produce singularities and does not result in intolerably long simulation times.

Numerical singularities arise from the manner in which the equilibrium equation is rearranged to yield an ordinary differential equation (ODE). The above equation is rearranged to isolate $ \mathbf{f}_V(\hat{v}_{CE}) $. We then invert to solve for $ \hat{v}_{CE} $, which is then numerically integrated during a simulation:

\[ \hat{v}_{CE} = \mathbf{f}_V ^{-1} \Big( \frac{ ( \mathbf{f}_{SE}(\hat{l}_{T}) ) / \cos \phi - \mathbf{f}_{PE}(\hat{l}_{CE}) } { \mathbf{a}(t) \mathbf{f}_L(\hat{l}_{CE})} \Big) \]

The above equation becomes numerically stiff when terms in the denominator approach zero (when $\mathbf{a}(t) \rightarrow 0$, $\phi \rightarrow 90^\circ$, or $ \mathbf{f}_L(\hat{l}_{CE}) \rightarrow 0 $) or, additionally, when the slope of $\mathbf{f}_V ^{-1}$ is steep (which occurs at fiber velocities close to the maximum concentric and maximum eccentric fiber velocities).

Singularities can be managed by ensuring that the muscle model is always activated ( $\mathbf{a}(t) > 0$), the fiber will stop contracting when a pennation angle of 90 degrees is approached ( $\phi < 90^\circ$), and the fiber will also stop contracting as its length approaches a lower bound ( $ \hat{l}_{CE} > lowerbound$), which is typically around half the fiber's resting length (to ensure $ \mathbf{f}_L(\hat{l}_{CE}) > 0 $). The fiber is prevented from reaching unphysiological lengths or its maximum pennation angle using a unilateral constraint. Additionally, the force-velocity curve is modified so that it is invertible.

When an elastic tendon without fiber damping is selected, the minimum active-force-length value is set to 0.1, the minimum permissible activation is set to 0.01, and the maximum permissible pennation angle is set to acos(0.1) or 84.3 degrees. This is done as a convenience for the user to prevent the model from taking an unreasonable amount of time to simulate.

(Rigid Tendon) or (Elastic Tendon with Fiber Damping)

Neither of these formulations has any singularities. The lower bound of the active-force-length curve can be zero (min( $ \mathbf{f}_L(\hat{l}_{CE})) = 0 $), activation can be zero (i.e., the muscle can be turned off completely), and the force-velocity curve need not be invertible.

The rigid tendon formulation removes the singularities by ignoring the elasticity of the tendon. This assumption is reasonable for many muscles, but it is up to the user to determine whether this assumption is valid.

The formulation that uses an elastic tendon with fiber damping removes singularities by solving the equilibrium equation with Newton's method. This is possible because the partial derivative of the equilibrium equation with respect to fiber velocity is always positive if $ \beta > 0$ and, thus, Newton's method can find a solution to the equilibrium equation.

When either of these singularity-free formulations is selected, the minimum active-force-length value and the minimum permissible activation are set to zero. This is done as a convenience for the user, as these changes make the results of the model more realistic yet incur no performance penality. The maximum pennation angle is left as acos(0.1) or 84.3 degrees, as allowing higher pennation angles results in an increasingly stiff fiber velocity state as pennation angle increases.
