| Title | Thermoelasticity experiments conducted by Douglas Robert Wilkie |
| Creator | Wilkie; Douglas Robert (1922 - 1998); physiologist |
| Date | 1959 |
| Description | File of thermoelasticity experiments carried out on 27 and 28 January 1959:
1) Muscle pulling against various compliances, measuring P & X
2) Releases during an isometric twitch, against various loads, at various times, with plots of working capacity at various times
3) Calculations of supposed shortening heat & comparison with supposed thermoelastic heat, for unloaded shortening at various times
Experiments conducted between 2-4 June 1959:
1) To what extent can thermoelasticity account for shortening heat?
2) Comparison of shortening with the XS tension the muscle would have if it were held isometric
3) Thermoelastic calculation for fig 1 |
