Morphoelastic rods are thin bodies which can grow and can change their intrinsic curvature and torsion. We deduce a system of equations that rule accretion and remodeling in a morphoelastic rod by combining balance laws involving non-standard forces with constitutive prescriptions filtered by a dissipation principle that takes into account both standard and non-standard working. We find that, as in the theory of three-dimensional bulk growth proposed [DiCarlo, A and Quiligotti, S. Mech Res Commun 2002; 29: 449-456], it is possible to identify a universal coupling mechanism between stress and growth, conveyed by an Eshelbian driving force.

Abstract
Morphoelastic rods are thin bodies which can grow and can change their intrinsic curvature and torsion. We deduce a system of equations that rule accretion and remodeling in a morphoelastic rod by combining balance laws involving non-standard forces with constitutive prescriptions filtered by a dissipation principle that takes into account both standard and non-standard working. We find that, as in the theory of three-dimensional bulk growth proposed [DiCarlo, A and Quiligotti, S. Mech Res Commun 2002; 29: 449-456], it is possible to identify a universal coupling mechanism between stress and growth, conveyed by an Eshelbian driving force.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
