double Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::GetActiveTension ( double  lengthOfContractileElement  )  [private]

Get the active tension as a function of length of contractile element. This is private. The public GetActiveTension() calls this using the value of lc in the state variable

Parameters:
lengthOfContractileElement length of contractile element (the state variable in this model).

void Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::EvaluateYDerivatives ( double  time,
const std::vector< double > &  rY,
std::vector< double > &  rDY 
) [virtual]

The derivative function of the one state variable: "lc" in reference, the length of the contractile element

Parameters:
time time
rY 1D vector containing lc
rDY 1D vector in which dlc/dt is set

Implements AbstractOdeSystem.

void Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::SetInputParameters ( ContractionModelInputParameters rInputParameters  )  [virtual]

Set the input parameters. The calcium concentration is not used. If the voltage is such that activation has occured (gone above mActivationVoltage), the state is set to active and the time saved as the activation time.

Parameters:
rInputParameters reference to the input parameters

Implements AbstractContractionModel.

void Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::SetStretchAndStretchRate ( double  stretch,
double  stretchRate 
) [virtual]

Take the stretch and compute the sarcomere length (stretch rate is not used).

Parameters:
stretch stretch
stretchRate stretch rate

Implements AbstractContractionModel.

double Kerchoffs2003ContractionModel::GetActiveTension (  )  [virtual]
