Hi Chao,
there is a nice review regrding matrix and mechanical properties: Gattazo et al., 2014 Biochimica and Biophysica Acta.
I hope this will help you.
Hi Chao, I hope that you're good.
Let me suggesting you this book where you might find what you need : Fung, Y. C. (2013). Biomechanics: mechanical properties of living tissues. Springer Science & Business Media.
All the best
Rob
nice references discussing mechanical properties of muscles or muscular-skeletal system based on physiological observations is human physiology fox 12th edition
but you need different references to take the best summary for mechanical properties of muscles
Hi Chao,
I'm unsure what's exactly in the refs above, but let me suggest to look at some references on the often overlooked thixotropic nature of muscles. The mechanical properties of muscles are dependent on the history of (recent) movement. Useful references on muscle thixotropy are written by Uwe Proske (1993), and Martin Lakie (1986).
Good luck!

If this is too complex for you, there are the best references to find anyway.:
