Thank you all for the prompt replies and the directions which are very helpful. Below I post a summary of responses to my message:
1) A very good source is Delp's lower extremity model:
http://isbweb.org/data/delp/index.html, click on "muscle file".
Normalized force-length and force-velocity relationships from this file
are attached below.
Force is normalized to maximum force, length to optimal fiber length,
and velocity to maximal shortening velocity.

2) We are collecting torque - position and torque-velocity data at the
knee, but it is not for individual muscles, but rather net joint
torque... Laura

3) You can look at the Prof. Delp's dissertation in 1990:
Delp, S.L. (1990) Surgery simulation: a computer graphics system to analyze and design musculoskeletal reconstructions of the lower limb. Dissertation, Stanford University.
Here is his lab's website: http://nmbl.stanford.edu/
Good luck!
