An efficient active-stress electromechanical isogeometric shell model for muscular thin film simulations
<|reference_start|>An efficient active-stress electromechanical isogeometric shell model for muscular thin film simulations: We propose an isogeometric approach to model the deformation of active thin films using layered, nonlinear, Kirchhoff Love shells. Isogeometric Collocation and Galerkin formulations are employed to discretize the electrophysiological and mechanical sub-problems, respectively, with the possibility to adopt different element and time-step sizes. Numerical tests illustrate the capabilities of the active stress based approach to effectively simulate the contraction of thin films in both quasi-static and dynamic conditions.<|reference_end|>
