β¦ Synopsis
This paper describes a material model, in which the materials under consideration grow up in a particular direction while re-organizing themselves to the surroundings. The structural reorganization is modeled as the rearrangement of anisotropy. Two models are proposed; one is that the anisotropic vector is embedded just as in fiber-reinforced materials, and the other is that the vector behaves like a float. In order to apply the present model to boundary-value problems, a three-dimensional finite element formulation is obtained with reference to the total-Lagrangian approach.
Here we evaluate the performance of the model in terms of anisotropic growth; (a) adaptation behavior of a quasiisotropy in the initial state, and (b) monotonic growth in helical direction.

The purpose of this study was to develop a three-dimensional finite element model of the mandible including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and further to investigate stress distributions in the TMJ during clenching. The model consisted of 2088 nodes and 1105 elements, comprising cortical and canc
## Abstract A constitutive model for granular materials is developed within the framework of strainβhardening elastoplasticity, aiming at describing some of the macroscopic effects of the degradation processes associated with grain crushing. The central assumption of the paper is that, upon loading
In powder metallurgy (P/M) the forming of industrial artifacts requires consolidation of loose powder into dense material leading to near-to-net shape components. In order to realize the economic advantages of the near-to-net shape formation, it is essential to understand the mechanical behaviour of
