Detailed Description

template<unsigned DIM>
class ImplicitCardiacMechanicsSolver< DIM >

Implicit Cardiac Mechanics Solver

Solves cardiac mechanics implicitly (together with the contraction models for determining the active tension), taking in the intracellular calcium concentration. See CardiacElectroMechanicsProblem documentation for more detail.

bool ImplicitCardiacMechanicsSolver< DIM >::IsImplicitSolver

(

)

[inline, private, virtual]

The current stretch ratio (in the fibre direction). Note the indexing: the i-th entry corresponds to the i-th global quad point, when looping over elements and then quad points This solver is an implicit solver (overloaded pure method)

Implements AbstractCardiacMechanicsSolver< DIM >.

void ImplicitCardiacMechanicsSolver< DIM >::GetActiveTensionAndTensionDerivs	(	double	currentFibreStretch,
		unsigned	currentQuadPointGlobalIndex,
		bool	assembleJacobian,
		double &	rActiveTension,
		double &	rDerivActiveTensionWrtLambda,
		double &	rDerivActiveTensionWrtDLambdaDt
	)			[inline, private, virtual]

A method called by AbstractCardiacMechanicsSolver::AssembleOnElement(), providing the active tension (and other info) at a particular quadrature point. This version uses C to determine the current stretch and stretch rate, and integrates the contraction model ODEs to determine the active tension, and derivatives of the active tension with respect to stretch and stretch rate.

Parameters:

	currentFibreStretch	The stretch in the fibre direction
	currentQuadPointGlobalIndex	Quadrature point integrand currently being evaluated at in AssembleOnElement.
	assembleJacobian	A bool stating whether to assemble the Jacobian matrix.
	rActiveTension	The returned active tension
	rDerivActiveTensionWrtLambda	The returned dT_dLam, derivative of active tension wrt stretch
	rDerivActiveTensionWrtDLambdaDt	The returned dT_dLamDot, derivative of active tension wrt stretch rate

Implements AbstractCardiacMechanicsSolver< DIM >.

std::vector< double > & ImplicitCardiacMechanicsSolver< DIM >::rGetFibreStretches

(

)

[inline]

Get lambda (the stretch ratio). NOTE: the i-th entry of this vector is assumed to be the i-th quad point obtained by looping over cells in the obvious way and then looping over quad points. These quad points, in the same order, can be obtained by using the QuadraturePointsGroup class.

template<unsigned DIM>

void ImplicitCardiacMechanicsSolver< DIM >::Solve	(	double	time,
		double	nextTime,
		double	odeTimestep
	)			[inline, virtual]

Solve for the deformation using quasi-static nonlinear elasticity. (not dynamic nonlinear elasticity, despite the times taken in - just ONE deformation is solved for. The cell models are integrated implicitly over the time range using the ODE timestep provided, as part of the solve, and updated at the end once the solution has been found, as is lambda.

Parameters:

	time	the current time
	nextTime	the next time
	odeTimestep	the ODE timestep

Implements AbstractCardiacMechanicsSolver< DIM >.

std::vector<double> ImplicitCardiacMechanicsSolver< DIM >::mStretchesLastTimeStep [private]
