Actuation devices made of smart polymers typically show various instabilities, which can
adversely affect their performance and lead to device failure. In general, smart polymers …

In this paper we discuss nonlinear anisotropic anelasticity formulated based on the two
multiplicative decompositions F= F e F a and F= F a F e. Using the Bilby–Kröner–Lee …

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 & …

We formulate a geometric nonlinear theory of the mechanics of accretion. In this theory, the
material manifold of an accreting body is represented by a time-dependent Riemannian …

During collective invasion in 3D, cohesive cellular tissues migrate within a fibrous
extracellular matrix (ECM). This process requires significant remodeling of the ECM by cells …

Growth occurs in a wide range of systems ranging from biological tissue to additive
manufacturing. This work considers surface growth, in which mass is added to the boundary …

Surface growth is a crucial component of many natural and artificial processes, from cell
proliferation to additive manufacturing. In elastic systems surface growth is usually …

In this paper we formulate and solve the initial-boundary value problem of accreting circular
cylindrical bars under finite extension. We assume that the bar grows by printing stress-free …

The Lagrangian approach for modeling of relativistic elastic solid with distributed defects is
developed. The influence of defects on stress-strain state of the solid is taken into account …

The present paper is intended to show the close interrelationship between non-linear
models of solids, produced with additive manufacturing, and models of solids with …
