Defining Formula: $F_{\mathrm{P}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{E}}({𝓁}_{\mathrm{T}}(t))\equiv \{\begin{array}{cc}{F}_0^{\mathrm{M}}0.10377(\exp (91-{ϵ}_{\mathrm{T}}(t))-1)& \mathrm{i}\mathrm{f}0\le {ϵ}_{\mathrm{T}}(t)\le 0.01516\\ F_0^{\mathrm{M}}(37.526{ϵ}_{\mathrm{T}}(t)-0.26029)& \mathrm{i}\mathrm{f}0.01516<{ϵ}_{\mathrm{T}}(t)<0.1\end{array}$

$F_0^{\mathrm{M}}$ symbol represents Maximum Isometric Muscle Force

${ϵ}_{\text{T}}$ symbol represents Tendon Strain

${𝓁}_{\mathrm{T}}$ symbol represents Tendon Length

$F_{\text{PTE}}$ symbol represents Passive Tendon Force
