“…Using convected coordinates, he constructed for each point a deformation gradient as a composition of the prehistory of deformation and the deformation between the time of addition and the current time. There are many other works on the mechanics of surface growth (some of which use a geometric framework) by Russian researchers [Arutyunyan et al, 1990;Manzhirov, 1995;Lychev and Manzhirov, 2013a;Manzhirov, 2014;Lychev and Manzhirov, 2013a,b;Lychev, 2011]. Most of the recent works are formal.…”
