      We consider complex behaviour of connective tissue based on the hypothesis of sliding of elastic fibers with Coulomb and viscous friction. A general numerical procedure is proposed for calculation of the stress-strain law of the fiber-fiber kinetics. The algorithm provides solutions for arbitrary cyclic loading, including tension, shear, tension and shear simultaneously, and hysteresis loops typical of soft tissue response. Accuracy of the model is verified by comparison with analytical solutions for the simple case of uniaxial loading.
