Biomedical Engineering
In generating a movement, the forces muscles generate often accelerate the mass of a limb or the body’s center of mass. In the simulation you will first activate a muscle isometrically, and then you will couple a Hill-type muscle model to a mass load and investigate how the series-elasticity influences the power generation in the muscle.
What to turn in:
1. An algorithm or flow chart of your program, including equations that you used. Another person should be able to read your algorithm and recreate your work.
2. Your commented code
3. Graphs (described in part 1 and part 2).
4. Address the question: How does the series-elasticity help muscle generate power? (2 or 3 sentences should suffice)
