Proof of Concept: Model Based Bionic Muscle with Hyperbolic Force-Velocity Relation

Recently, the hyperbolic Hill-type force-velocity relation was derived from basic physical components. It was shown that a contractile element CE consisting of a mechanical energy source (active element AE), a parallel damper element (PDE), and a serial element (SE) exhibits operating points with hy...
