Fibrin fibers and fibrin network, the key structural components of blood clots, are imperative
for maintaining the functionality of blood clots in hemostasis and wound healing. Although …

The adaptive mechanical properties of soft and fibrous biological materials are relevant to
their functionality. The emergence of the macroscopic response of these materials to …

Blood clot formation, a crucial process in hemostasis and thrombosis, has garnered
substantial attention for its implications in various medical conditions. Microscopic …

The biomechanical properties of blood clots, which are dictated by their compositions and
micro-structures, play a critical role in determining their fates, ie, occlusion, persistency, or …

In this Ph. D. thesis, I investigated the mechanics of soft matter, specifically focusing on the
viscoelastic-plastic response of agarose and fibrin networks. The study utilized a …

This dissertation aimed to provide an accurate, mechanistic, material model for blood clots,
thereby enabling the numerical study of blood clot pathologies and surgical intervention for …
