On a continuum thermodynamics formulation and computational aspects of finite growth in soft tissues

Abstract: 17 pagesInternational audienceIn this paper, we try to settle the bases of a concise modelling of growth within the unified framework of continuum thermodynamics. Special emphasis is placed on the modelling of soft biological tissues at finite strains. For this, we adopt the nowadays well-known kinematic assumption of a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into an elastic part and a growth part. It is shown how continuum thermodynamics is crucial in setting convenient forms for the coupling… Show more

“…It is almost superfluous to remind ourselves that cellular mutations and interactions are essential in that case. Humphrey (2003) has reviewed results in biomechanics and has indicated trends on the matter (see also Athesian & Humphrey, 2012;Nedjar, 2011). Nontrivial theoretical issues are involved already at the level of the geometric description of the relevant processes.…”
