Abstract
We present here a 3D mathematical model of rheological properties of a morphofunctional unit of myocardium as example of biological tissue. The model consists of longitudinal and transverse elastic elements and inclined viscoelastic elements connected pivotally without friction. The parameters of viscosity and elasticity of the structural elements of the model do not depend on the magnitude of deformation. The model adequately describes nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of isolated samples of passive myocardium both in static condition and under dynamic loading. The simulation data fit the experiment very well both for intact rat papillary muscle and for a decellularized specimen.
