AbstractDetailed fibre architecture plays a crucial role in myocardial mechanics both passively and actively. Strong interest has been attracted over decades in mathematical modelling of fibrous tissue (arterial wall, myocardium, etc.) by taking into account realistic fibre structures, i.e. from perfectly aligned one family of fibres, to two families of fibres, and to dispersed fibres described by probability distribution functions. It is widely accepted that the fibres, i.e. collage, cannot bear the load when compressed, thus it is necessary to exclude compressed fibres when computing the stress in fibrous tissue. In this study, we have focused on mathematical modelling of fibre dispersion in myocardial mechanics, and studied how different fibre dispersions affect cardiac pump function. The fibre dispersion in myocardium is characterized by a non-rotationally symmetric distribution using a $$\pi $$ π -periodic Von Mises distribution based on recent experimental studies. In order to exclude compressed fibres for passive response, we adopted the discrete fibre dispersion model for approximating a continuous fibre distribution with finite fibre bundl
