  • Need help: FE modeling of smooth muscle active contraction

    Hello All,

    I am using ABAQUS to set up a 3D finite element model of human urethra,
    which includes both smooth and skeletal muscle layers.
    User subroutin UMAT will be used for simulating the property of
    muscle active
    contraction.

    Anyone has any suggestion about constitutive modeling of muscle active
    contraction (especially for smooth muscle)? If you can recommend several
    good references, that will be great. Thanks a lot.

    Sincerely,
    Derek
