Description

Muscle time-varying mechanical modeling method and device considering morphological changes, and electronic equipment
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of environmental sanitation equipment, in particular to a muscle time-varying mechanical modeling method, device, equipment and medium considering morphological changes.
Background
A central problem with muscle actuation is the need to establish the relationship between myotonic-muscular tension. Physiologically, muscle tension can be divided into passive tension and active tension. The tension present before the contraction of the muscle becomes passive tension, and when the muscle is pulled, the passive tension of the muscle fiber in the relaxed state is increased, because the myotonin is pulled, and the muscle fiber gradually stretches, not caused by the active movement of the bridge. If the muscle fibers are fixed at both ends and stimulus is applied to the muscle fibers, the force generated by contraction of the muscle fibers becomes active tension. Active tension is generated by the active action of the bridge and actin. Muscle contraction and active tension are derived from the reciprocating swing of the transverse bridge and are controlled by action potentials conducted along the muscle membrane, and the active control is dependent on living beings under any length, so that the measurement of the active force is represented by the maximum value of the active force of the current length of the muscle active force.
Muscle modeling is divided into two types, namely an experimental method and a theoretical model. In the experimental method, although the muscle research has been carried out for a considerable time, the muscle force of the living body is still difficult to measure, and the general experimental method is to dissect the muscle and apply the stimulating electrical signal. The measurement structure shows that the muscle force is divided into active force and passive force, the active force shows that the muscle force is maximum in a muscle resting state, and the muscle force is reduced along with the increase or decrease of the length. When the length of the muscle is greater than the resting length, the muscle itself exhibits tensile elasticity in the direction of stretching, while when the length is less than the resting length, the muscle does not exhibit tensile elasticity, i.e., is not represented by power.
Currently, muscle mechanics modeling is the leading field of research, and has guiding effect on the display of human body movement mechanism and the design and manufacture of a soft mechanical arm. The existing modeling method models from two angles of tension-length relation and outer contour:
1) Pure length-tension relationship. The Huxley and Hill models are based on the assumption that springs are not explained for the fact that the amount of tension the muscle provides when compressed contracts is almost zero, while at the same time the models are limited to one dimension and these measurement studies on the amount of force have little description of the shape of the muscle, in particular the radial profile.
2) Rope modeling method. The muscle is modeled as a plurality of inhaul cables, the characteristic that the main action mechanism of the muscle is pulling the bone is reduced, but the method does not consider the volume and the appearance outline of the muscle as the pure length-tension model, and meanwhile, the relation of main and passive forces when the muscle is exerting force cannot be distinguished.
3) Modeling method of appearance description. The method is only used as a post-treatment display, and does not relate to the mechanical characteristics of the muscles in the movement process, and the magnitude of the force and the magnitude of the main and passive forces can not be given.

Detailed Description
It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other. The application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in connection with embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1, a preferred embodiment of the present application provides a method of modeling muscle time-varying mechanics taking into account morphological changes, comprising the steps of:
S1, muscle active tension modeling: a central muscle fiber active contraction core 2 is arranged in the center of the model, and has the capacity of muscle active contraction and the property of constant volume assumption; the periphery of the central muscle fiber active contraction inner core 2 is provided with a passive elastic outer membrane structure 1, the length of which is used for representing the elastic property of the muscle, and the active tension under different expansion rates is obtained by piecewise linear fitting or fitting by adopting a specified function according to the relation between the active tension and the length of the muscle;
S2, modeling muscle passive tension: according to the length and radius of the model before and after stretching/stretching and the thickness value of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1, the passive tension of the model is obtained by calculation;
S3, fitting elastic modulus of muscle: according to the relation between the elastic modulus and the length of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1 and the current passive tension, the elastic modulus of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1 is obtained through fitting of multiple groups of data;
S4, elastic tissue modeling: the elastic tissue structure 3 is arranged at two ends of the model, the elastic tissue structure 3 is used for connecting muscle fibers and bones, the elastic fibers and amorphous matrixes contained at two ends of the muscle fibers are reflected, the elastic tissue structure is a main undertaker of external axial elasticity of the muscle fibers, and meanwhile, the elastic tissue structure 3 is also used for undertaking elastic deformation that the muscles can continuously shrink after the length of the whole muscle tissue is fixed.
The muscle tension is synthesized by active tension and passive tension, wherein the active tension is derived from a biological myoelectric signal and is output force of biological active control, and the passive tension is derived from passive elasticity of the muscle. Thus, for a single muscle tissue, its magnitude of force can be expressed as:
F=Factive+Fpassive
Wherein F active is the active power and F passive is the passive power.
Myofibrils are fibrous structures contained within a muscle fiber and are arranged in parallel along the radial direction of the muscle fiber. The length of the thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments, respectively, is constant during skeletal muscle contraction, while the intersecting I and H bands shorten. Like the Hill model, the model center of the present embodiment is set as a central muscle fiber active contraction core 2 capable of active contraction, which reflects the ability of the muscle to actively contract and the property of having a constant volume assumption. For the connective tissue contained in the circumference of the muscle and the muscular intima system surrounded by myofibrils, the model of this example provides a passive elastic adventitia structure 1 with length follow-up for characterizing the elastic properties possessed by the muscle. The initial state and the compression state of the muscle mechanics model of the present embodiment are shown in fig. 2 and 3.
The active tension is generated under the active action of the transverse bridges and actin, and the number of the transverse bridges is correspondingly changed due to different overlapped states of muscle fibers before contraction, so that the relation between the active tension and the length of the muscles is represented by the characteristic that the resting state reaches the maximum value, the number of the effective transverse bridges reaches the maximum at the moment, and the provided active tension is the maximum. It was found in the study that the rate of extension-relative active and passive tension remained almost the same despite the differences in muscle properties of the individual parts, so that a piecewise linear fit method could be used for the upper bound of the active force, as well as a specified function fit.
A piecewise linear fit was performed on the maximum active tension, the results being shown as a solid line in fig. 4. It should be noted that, the black solid line in fig. 2 indicates the maximum value of the active tension at a certain expansion rate, and thus the portions surrounded by the line segments are all the magnitudes of the active tension that can be output.
In addition, in order to explain that the muscle fibers continue to shorten and thicken in the isometric contraction process, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, elastic tissue structures 3 are further arranged at two ends of the model in the embodiment, the elastic tissue structures 3 are used for connecting the muscle fibers and bones, reflecting the elastic fibers and amorphous matrixes contained at two ends of the muscle fibers, and are main acceptors of the external axial elasticity of the muscle fiber tissue, meanwhile, the elastic tissue structures 3 are also used for undertaking the elastic deformation of the muscle which can still continuously shrink after the length of the whole muscle tissue is fixed, the elastic tissue structures 3 at two ends collect the elastic properties of the muscle in the axial direction, and the muscle continuously shrink when the muscle is stressed, so that the elastic properties of the muscle which still exist after the active contraction are fully considered, and the muscle can continuously deform under the action of external force.
The muscle time-varying mechanical modeling method considering the morphological changes provided by the embodiment is based on the physiological structural characteristics of skeletal muscles, provides a muscle structure model comprising a central constant-volume inner core, a peripheral passive elastic outer membrane structure and two-end elastic tissue structures, and develops active tension modeling, passive tension modeling, muscle variable elastic modulus fitting, elastic tissue modeling and serial model establishment considering the morphological changes of the muscles on the basis of the muscle structure model. In the embodiment, the active and passive tension is taken as an entry point, so that the establishment of a time-varying mechanical model of the muscle is completed, and the mechanical phenomenon and characteristics in the muscle actuation process are revealed. Compared with the prior art, the embodiment has the following unique advantages: 1. in the embodiment, the structural characteristics of skeletal muscles are taken as modeling bases, and the traditional scheme models muscles as elastic or traction objects such as ropes, springs and the like, so that the characteristics of the muscles are ignored; 2. the embodiment has better applicability to single muscle and muscle segments; 3. the modeling method of the embodiment considers the change of the muscle shape, and has good universality for realizing the simulation of the mechanical property and the appearance outline.
In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the calculation of the length, radius and thickness value of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1 of the model before and after extension/contraction according to the model obtained during the modeling of the active tension of the muscle specifically includes the steps of:
S21, assuming that the original length of the muscle fiber tissue is l 0, the radius is r 0, the thickness of the passive elastic outer membrane structure is h 0, the length of the muscle fiber tissue after the stretching/stretching of the muscle is l t, the radius is r t, and the thickness of the passive elastic outer membrane structure is h t, the volume V c of the passive elastic outer membrane structure and the volume V s of the active contraction inner core 2 of the central muscle fiber are respectively:
Wherein:
S22, calculating the cross section area S cht of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1 in the extension state as
Scht=πht(ht+2rt)
S23. the passive tension F s can thus be expressed as:
passive tension refers to tension that the muscles have when they are not contracted, and is generated by gradual elongation of the muscle fibers, not by active movement of the bridge. Since the elastic properties of the muscle mechanical model discussed in the present application are all generated by the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1 in the muscle fiber portion, the passive tension is derived from the passive elongation of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1. It should be noted that the passive tension is only generated by the elongation of the muscle tissue, and the passive tension is not generated when the muscle tissue is shortened, wherein E is the elastic modulus of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1.
In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the obtaining the elastic modulus of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1 by fitting multiple sets of data according to the relation between the elastic modulus E and the length of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1 and the current passive tension specifically includes the steps of:
s31. assuming that the elastic modulus is a quadratic function with respect to length and current passive force, the elastic modulus can be described as:
Et=f(FN,ε)=aFN 2+bε2+cFNε+dFN+eε;
wherein E t is the elastic modulus at any time t, N is the number of data sets, F N is the current maximum resultant force value, epsilon is the strain, and a, b, c, d, E is the coefficient to be fitted;
S32, selecting N groups of data (F N, epsilon), and performing coefficient fitting on the variable elastic modulus, wherein N is more than or equal to 5.
Where E t is the elastic modulus of the passive elastic adventitia structure 1, we make a hypothesis here that the elastic modulus of muscle tissue changes as the magnitude of muscle tone changes, intuitively manifesting as a constant stiffness of the muscle when it is forced. Since the elastic modulus of the muscle is difficult to measure under different stress conditions, the embodiment adopts a fitting method to calculate, namely, the elastic modulus E t is assumed to be a quadratic function related to the length and the current passive force, then N groups of data (F N, E) are selected, coefficient fitting is performed on the variable elastic modulus to obtain a quadratic function corresponding to the elastic modulus E t, and the elastic modulus of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1 can be calculated through the quadratic function.
In the preferred embodiment of the application, in consideration of the fact that the square of the passive force and the square of the strain are large in order of magnitude, the fitting quantity is correspondingly enlarged or reduced to ensure the consistency of each item in order of magnitude, so that the fitting accuracy is improved, and the fitting error is reduced, for example, for fitting the tibialis anterior muscle of New Zealand rabbit, the force is usually 12 to 18N, and the active contraction strain is about 30% at maximum, so that F N 2 and epsilon 2 are different by 4 orders of magnitude, and larger rounding errors are generated for the fitting result.
A group of data in the experiment is selected, the fitting result is shown in fig. 4, and the final curves of the active and passive tension curves are approximate to the experimental measurement result.
According to the equal volume assumption, the radius and the peripheral structure thickness corresponding to the length of the muscle tissue at any time can be obtained, so that the morphological change of the muscle in the whole experimental process can be obtained as shown in fig. 5.
It is particularly noted that for peripheral structures, the structure is physiologically similar to the skeletal endomyral system, while the mechanical properties reflect the radial properties of the muscle fibrous tissue. For a material that is subject to compressive buckling, its flexural rigidity is small, so that its axial force is much smaller when compressed than when pulled to the same strain, so that its passive force is approximately 0 when the muscle is in compression.
In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the elastic tissue structure 3 is assumed as a single material, and the relationship between tension and strain is:
Wherein F is the tension, E is the elastic modulus of the elastic tissue structure 3, l t is the length after stretching, l 0 is the original length, and S t is the cross-sectional area of the elastic tissue structure 3.
The elastic tissue structure 3 is used for connecting muscle fibers and bones, and represents elastic fibers and amorphous matrixes contained at two ends of the muscle fibers, so that the elastic tissue structure is a main carrier of external axial elasticity of the muscle fiber tissue. At the same time, the elastic tissue structures 3 at the two ends of the model also bear the elastic deformation that the muscle can still continuously shrink after the whole muscle tissue length is fixed. The elastic tissue structure 3 of the present embodiment is assumed as a single material, and it is known from the above-mentioned relational expression of tension and strain: after the state of the joint is determined, for example, under the condition that the current angular acceleration and the end load of the joint are known, the force born by the whole muscle tissue in the axial direction can be obtained, the length of the current elastic tissue can be obtained, the length of muscle fibers can be obtained, the current passive force can be calculated according to the current length, and the main force can be obtained. If the calculated primary power is greater than the current primary power maximum, the joint state is considered to be intolerable to the corresponding muscle, so the model has a judging standard for judging the joint movement capability.
In another preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the muscle time-varying mechanical modeling method taking into account the morphological changes further comprises the steps of:
s5, establishing a serial model taking the change of the muscle morphology into consideration: the muscle models 4 constructed in the steps are connected in series, the appearance of the variable section muscle is simulated, and the muscle contour and the length change under any stress state can be obtained by calculating the active and passive tension of each series section.
The biological skeletal muscle has the mechanical characteristics as a whole, and meanwhile, the same properties are also achieved for the minimum basic unit muscle segments of muscle movement, and if the muscle is divided into a plurality of series sections along the axial direction, the calculation of active and passive tension is carried out on each section, so that the contour and length change of the muscle in any stress state can be obtained.
Specifically, the muscle models built in the previous steps are connected in series, the appearance of the variable section muscle is simulated, and the muscle contour and the length change under any stress state can be obtained by calculating the active and passive tension of each series section, specifically comprising the following steps:
s51, for each section of muscle model 4, as the resultant force output outwards is consistent and the length variation is consistent, the resultant force of the section of muscle model is F (i) =F active(i)+Fpassive(i),Factive (i) which is the active tension of the section of muscle model, and F passive (i) which is the passive tension of the section of muscle model, so that:
Wherein S cht is the cross-sectional area of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1, E is the elastic modulus of the passive elastic outer membrane structure 1, i is the number of each section of muscle model 4, l t is the length of the stretched muscle model 4, and l 0 is the original length of the muscle model 4. In this embodiment, the multi-segment muscle models 4 are connected in series, so that the variable-section muscle morphology is simulated, and analysis of real muscles can be realized.
As shown in fig. 10, there is also provided in another preferred embodiment of the present application a muscle time-varying mechanics modeling apparatus considering morphological changes, including:
A muscle active tension modeling module for setting a central muscle fiber active contraction core in the center of the model, which has the capacity of muscle active contraction and the property of constant volume assumption; the periphery of the central muscle fiber active contraction inner core is provided with a passive elastic outer membrane structure, the length of the passive elastic outer membrane structure is used for representing the elastic property of the muscle, and the active tension under different expansion rates is obtained by piecewise linear fitting or fitting by adopting a specified function according to the relation between the active tension and the length of the muscle;
