The paper describes the use of the Verasonics research system for physical modeling of skeletal muscle biomechanics. The scheme of the acoustic system is described. The path of receiving and processing the signal is presented. A brief overview of the operation of software algorithms for the implementation of methods of ultrasound diagnostics is made. A mathematical model of skeletal muscle as a flat-layered medium is considered. The implementation of this model in the form of a fibers agar phantom is proposed. Using the Verasonics acoustic system shear velocities of physical fibers agar phantom were measured. Shear modules for agar and fibers were calculated. The obtained values are consistent with similar characteristics of native muscles and connective tissue fibers.
