Axial stress Pzz and nominal shear modulus G of fibrin networks as a function of axial strain (ε = λ − 1). Results predicted by the (a) affine (εs = 2.92 × 10−14), (b) three-chain (εs = 2.76 × 10−14), (c) eight-chain (εs = 0.0289) and (d) micro-sphere models (εs = 0.0086), as well as the corresponding experimental results of van Oosten et al., are shown. Note that εs = λs − 1 denotes the critical strain for fibre stiffening (obtained by data fitting).
