This paper reports the results of experiments which were designed to test the hypothesis that the recording of anomalous values of rheological exponents in the gelation of gelatin may, under some circumstances, be due to inappropriate rheometry. Resu... Read More about A study of gelatin gelation by Fourier transform mechanical spectroscopy.

Rheometrical detection of incipient blood clot formation by Fourier transform mechanical spectroscopy (2007)
Journal Article
Evans, P. A., Hawkins, K., Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (2008). Rheometrical detection of incipient blood clot formation by Fourier transform mechanical spectroscopy. Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 148(1-3), 122-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnnfm.2007.04.020

We report a study of the coagulation of whole blood by oscillatory shear Fourier transform mechanical spectroscopy. The results include the first identification of the Gel Point of coagulating blood in terms of the Chambon–Winter Gel Point criterion...
