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 …

Wrinkling of thin stiff films on thick compliant elastomeric substrates subject to plane strain
compression is considered for cases in which the substrate is pre-stretched prior to film …

The role of substrate nonlinearity in the stability of wrinkling of thin films bonded to compliant
substrates is investigated within the initial post-bifurcation range when wrinkling first …

This research aims to investigate the nonlinear vibration of the in-plane bi-directional
functionally graded (BDFG) plate with global and localized geometrical imperfection …

This research addresses the free vibration performance of bi-directional functionally graded
materials (BDFGMs) rectangular plate with general boundary restraints and geometrical …

This paper addresses localization of the deformation due to buckling that occurs
immediately following the onset of bifurcation in the axisymmetric buckling of a perfect …

A theory for the dynamics and statics of growing elastic rods is presented. First, a single
growing rod is considered and the formalism of three-dimensional multiplicative …

Heuristic studies of a strut on an elastic foundation and a strut with a sinusoidally varying
load are extended to include initial geometric imperfections. Examination of various shapes …

This research aims to analyze the imperfection sensitivity in the nonlinear resonance
behavior of bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG) porous beam. The trigonometric and …

This paper studies the stability of space structures consisting of longitudinal, open-section
thin-shells transversely connected by thin rods subjected to a pure bending moment …
