Multiscale Network Modeling of Fibrin Fibers and Fibrin Clots with Protofibril Binding Mechanics

The multiscale mechanical behavior of individual fibrin fibers and fibrin clots was<br />modeled by coupling atomistic simulation data and microscopic experimental data. We propose a<br />new protofibril element composed of a nonlinear spring network, and constructed this based on<br...
