Nonlinear mechanics of phase-change-induced accretion
Satya Prakash Pradhan, Arash Yavari
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 t…

Accretion-Ablation Mechanics
Satya Prakash Pradhan, Arash Yavari
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 and Ya…

Buckling of chiral rods due to coupled axial and rotational growth
Satya Prakash Pradhan, Prashant Saxena
We present a growth model for special Cosserat rods that allows for induced rotation of cross-sections. The growth law considers two controls, one for lengthwise growth and other f…
