A continuum model for the unfolding of von Willebrand Factor
Mansur Zhussupbekov, Rodrigo Mendez Rojano, Wei-Tao Wu +2
von Willebrand Factor is a mechano-sensitive protein circulating in blood that mediates platelet adhesion to subendothelial collagen and platelet aggregation at high shear rates. I…
Influence of shear rate and surface chemistry on thrombus formation in micro-crevice
Mansur Zhussupbekov, Wei-Tao Wu, Megan A. Jamiolkowski +2
Thromboembolic complications remain a central issue in management of patients on mechanical circulatory support. Despite the best practices employed in design and manufacturing of…
Finite Element Simulations of an Elasto-Viscoplastic Model for Clay
M. N. Islam, C. T. Gnanendran, M. Massoudi
In this paper, we develop an elasto-viscoplastic (EVP) model for clay using the non-associated flow rule. This is accomplished by using a modified form of the Perzyna's overstresse…
A non-linear fluid suspension model for blood flow
Wei-Tao Wu, Nadine Aubry, James F. Antaki +1
Motivated by the complex rheological behaviors observed in small/micro scale blood vessels, such as the Fahraeus effect, plasma-skimming, shear-thinning, etc., we develop a non-lin…
