Description
Summary:This study aimed to optimize muscle stress forces which are capable of doing the work during.the archery activity. The developed upper limb model of a body comprised of 12 muscles and six joints of arm segments and the upper trunk. Optimization method using the Lagrange multiplier has been used to obtain the muscle stress during the performance of archery. The involved objective functions are non-linear functions of quadratic and cubic. It has been found that the muscle stress forces which are obtained in the release phase of the draw arm (part E) and bow arm (part H), of an amature are potential in reducing the injuries at the shoulder joint.
