The purpose of this study was to elaborate a two-dimensional approach for unipennate and bipennate striated skeletal muscle modelling. Behavior of chosen flat pennate muscle is modelled as a rheological system composed of serially linked passive and active fragments having different mechanical properties. Each fragment is composed of three elements: mass element, elastic element and viscous element. Each active fragment furthermore contains the contractile element. Proposed approach takes into consideration that muscle force depends on a planar arrangement of muscle fibers. Paper presents results of numerical simulations, conclusions deduced on the base of these results and a concept of experimental verification of proposed models.
