The diaphragm is the most important respiratory muscle.  The central            tendon deforms in accordance with the contraction and relaxation of             diaphragmatic muscles.  This proposal will study the contractile forces         using the central tendon as a strain gauge.  Their hypothesis is that           with properly characterized strain histories and measured mechanical            properties of the central tendon, they will be able to form a model of          the respiratory cycle.  A working model is necessary to adapt anesthesia        and facilitated breathing instrumentation to the respiratory system.
