Open AccessA note concerning some aspects for application of a thermodynamic extremal principle (TEP) for continua
A matter of fact is that extremal principles have been introduced in mechanics in more (Euler, Lagrange) or less (Hamilton) than 200 years ago. One may also observe an impact of thermodynamic extremal principl...

Open AccessStrain and interface energy of ellipsoidal inclusions subjected to volumetric eigenstrains: shape factors
Thermodynamic modeling of the development of non-spherical inclusions as precipitates in alloys is an important topic in computational materials science. The precipitates may have markedly different properties...

Open AccessThe Emergence of Complexity from a Simple Model for Tissue Growth
The growth of living tissue is known to be modulated by mechanical as well as biochemical signals. We study a simple numerical model where the tissue growth rate depends on a chemical potential describing bioc...

Open AccessStress–strain analysis of the antiplane shear problem for an infinite cylindrical inclusion with eigenstrain: an addendum to Arch. Appl. Mech. 2018
As outlined in the previous paper, an eigenstrain state due to an interstitial atom, acting as misfitting inclusion in the crystal lattice, may interact with a load stress state and/or a stress state due to a ...

Open AccessElastic stress–strain analysis of an infinite cylindrical inclusion with eigenstrain
The ensemble of interstitial atoms as C attracted to a dislocation is well established as “Cottrell cloud” phenomenon. The deposition of the interstitial atoms in octahedral or tetrahedral positions in a bcc l...

Free edges at bilayered compounds—a short analytical and numerical reconsideration
In this contribution, the local stress field very close to the free edges of bilayered compounds is reconsidered. Special emphasis is laid on the fulfilment of the boundary conditions. The bilayer character is...
