Constants are optimized values corresponding to the lowest least square errors (LSE) for the linear (L), cumulative power law (CPL), and modified cumulative power law (MPL) models. Constants were optimized for (a) constant shear stress waveforms only, (b) dynamic shear stress waveforms only, and (c) constant and dynamic shear stress waveforms in combination.
