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 & …

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 …

For a given class of materials, universal deformations are those deformations that can be
maintained in the absence of body forces and by applying solely boundary tractions. For …

For a given material, controllable deformations are those deformations that can be
maintained in the absence of body forces and by applying only boundary tractions. For a …

Universal displacements are those displacements that can be maintained for any member of
a specific class of linear elastic materials in the absence of body forces, solely by applying …

In this paper, we formulate a continuum theory of solidification within the context of finite-
strain coupled thermoelasticity. We aim to fill a gap in the existing literature, as the existing …
