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 modeled by coupling atomistic simulation data and microscopic experimental data. We propose a new protofibril element composed of a nonlinear spring network, and constructed this based on molecular simulations and at...
