The spring-fiber system where the passive ECM with a spring constant of KECM is connected by a force bearing FA to the active contractile fiber with a spring constant KCSK. Rather than have an external force effect a displacement on one of the springs, this displacement dX is now due to an active contraction of the stress fiber. We model the evolution of this displacement with the force-velocity relation Eq. 13.
