For many organisms, shapes emerge from growth, which generates stresses, which in turn
can feedback on growth. In this review, theoretical methods to analyse various aspects of …

The purpose of this paper is to review and contrast the Lagrangian and Eulerian
formulations of inelasticity as they apply to metal plasticity and growth of biological tissues …

We present a statistical mechanics theory of rubber-like elasticity in swollen and unswollen
polymer networks characterized by explicitly non-Gaussian distribution functions (Laplace's …

Stability is an important and fruitful avenue of research for liquid crystal elastomers. At
constant temperature, upon stretching, the homogeneous state of a nematic body becomes …

This paper develops a stochastic model for the spatially-dependent material parameters
parameterizing anisotropic strain energy density functions. The construction is cast within …

Motivated by the need to quantify uncertainties in the mechanical behaviour of solid
materials, we perform simple uniaxial tensile tests on a manufactured rubber-like material …

For monodomain nematic elastomers, we construct generalised elastic–nematic constitutive
models combining purely elastic and neoclassical-type strain energy densities. Inspired by …

Stochastic elasticity is a fast develo** field that combines nonlinear elasticity and
stochastic theories in order to significantly improve model predictions by accounting for …

In large deformations, internally pressurised elastic spherical shells and tubes may undergo
a limit-point, or inflation, instability manifested by a rapid transition in which their radii …

The aim of the paper is to recall the importance of the study of invertibility and monotonicity
of stress-strain relations for investigating the non-uniqueness and bifurcation of …
