Most plant cells are surrounded by a rigid cell wall composed of many cellulose microfibrils embedded in a matrix. By taking up water from their environment, a strong hydrostatic force which pushes against the cell wall is created. Throughout this paper it will be assumed that growth occurs when thi

Stable ductile fracture of a typical metal alloy is found to be governed by the condition dS/da = const., i.e. the rate change of the strain energy density S with crack length 2n (or a) remained constant. Since fracture and/or yielding are toad rate dependent, the incremental theory of plasticity is
A sigmoid curve with three fitting parameters is proposed as a descriptive model for the spatial velocity field in one-dimensional growth of plant organs. Analytic expressions are derived for the relative elemental growth (REG) rate, the position and value of the REG rate maximum, the length of the
The development of a new strain energy function for hyperelastic solids based on the logarithmic strain measure is the objective of the present article. For all possible types of deformation it was shown that the proposed energy function is based on three independent material parameters. Using avail
