▪ Abstract The growth and remodeling of a tissue depends on certain features in the history
of its mechanical environment as well as its genetic makeup. The mechanical environment …

Living systems can grow, develop, adapt, and evolve. These phenomena are non-intuitive to
traditional engineers and often difficult to understand. Yet, classical engineering tools can …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

The effect of growth in the stability of elastic materials is studied. From a stability perspective,
growth and resorption have two main effects. First a change of mass modifies the geometry …

In this paper, we formulate a geometric nonlinear theory of the mechanics of accreting–
ablating bodies. This is a generalization of the theory of accretion mechanics of Sozio & …

Exploring recent developments in continuum mechanics, Configurational Forces:
Thermomechanics, Physics, Mathematics, and Numerics presents the general framework for …

Unlike common engineering materials, living matter can autonomously respond to
environmental changes. Living structures can grow stronger, weaker, larger, or smaller …

We present a novel computational model for maladaptive cardiac growth in which kinematic
changes of the cardiac chambers are attributed to alterations in cytoskeletal architecture and …

Mechanics of living tissues focusing on the relationships between growth, morphology and
function is not only of theoretical interest but can also be useful for diagnosis of certain …

The present paper is devoted to the problem of boundary conditions formulation in the
growing micropolar solid mechanics. The static equations of the micropolar continuum in …
