Recent advancements to characterize human blood via thixo-visco-elasto-plastic modeling

Abstract

In there has been much progress in developing more accurate thixo- lasto- visco-plastic rheological models that can be used to mechanically characterize human blood. In theory as the thixo-elasto-visco-plastic (TEVP) model accuracy and predictive capability improves, the parameterization, as well as insights and parametric correlations will also improve. This will allow researchers to determine the healthy, average values for each rheological parameter, as well as left and right limits (2-standard deviations in either direction from average) respectively. It is understood that the mechanical characterization can be vastly improved by using Series of Physical Process framework that can further explore the viscous (liquid-like) and elastic (solid-like) properties along with the TEVP model parameterization.
