Abstract
The measurement of clot elasticity and fracture strain is carried out using a rotational rheometer with a controlled stress system. The elasticity is quantified by a shear elastic modulus and fracture strain by a critical strain (deformation) when the clot begins to break up. The results indicate a decrease of elasticity and increase of fracture strain of the clot with increasing hematocrit. Moreover, the elastic modulus of the clot is not constant but increasing with deformation.Entities:
