  2. Concentric objects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentric_objects

    The region of the plane between two concentric circles is an annulus, and analogously the region of space between two concentric spheres is a spherical shell. [6] For a given point c in the plane, the set of all circles having c as their center forms a pencil of circles. Each two circles in the pencil are concentric, and have different radii.

  3. Muscle contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_contraction

    In concentric contraction, muscle tension is sufficient to overcome the load, and the muscle shortens as it contracts. [8] This occurs when the force generated by the muscle exceeds the load opposing its contraction. During a concentric contraction, a muscle is stimulated to contract according to the sliding filament theory. This occurs ...

  4. Isotonic contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotonic_contraction

    A near isotonic contraction is known as Auxotonic contraction. There are two types of isotonic contractions: (1) concentric and (2) eccentric. In a concentric contraction, the muscle tension rises to meet the resistance, then remains the same as the muscle shortens.

  6. Stretch shortening cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_shortening_cycle

    A stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) is an active stretch (eccentric contraction) of a muscle followed by an immediate shortening (concentric contraction) of that same muscle. Research studies [ edit ]

  7. Conformal cyclic cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_cyclic_cosmology

    Conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) is a cosmological model in the framework of general relativity and proposed by theoretical physicist Roger Penrose. [1] [2] [3] In CCC, the universe iterates through infinite cycles, with the future timelike infinity (i.e. the latest end of any possible timescale evaluated for any point in space) of each previous iteration being identified with the Big Bang ...

  8. Hill's muscle model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill's_muscle_model

    During isometric contractions the series elastic component is under tension and therefore is stretched a finite amount. Because the overall length of the muscle is kept constant, the stretching of the series element can only occur if there is an equal shortening of the contractile element itself.

  9. Talk:Muscle contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Muscle_contraction

    Newton's third law requires that the muscle tension and its load, possibly including inertial loads, be equal. It is the muscle ability to generate force while isometric that exceeds the load in a concentric contraction and is exceeded by it in an eccentric contraction. I am new here so reluctant to just change it. Advice appreciated.
