Surface growth is a crucial component of many natural and artificial processes from cell proliferation to additive manufacturing. In elastic systems surface growth is usually accompanied by the development of geometrical incompatibility…
Materials under complex loading develop large strains and often transition via an elastic instability, as observed in both simple and complex systems. Here, we present Si I under large strain in terms of Lagrangian strain by an…

The two approaches to analyzing the large strain behavior of rubbery networks are phenomenologically, using strain energy functions drawn from continuum mechanics, and molecular models, which apply statistical mechanics to compute the…
Transformation elasticity, by analogy with transformation acoustics and optics, converts material domains without altering wave properties, thereby enabling cloaking and related effects. By noting the similarity between transformation…

Collagen is the main structural and load-bearing element of various connective tissues, where it forms the extracellular matrix that supports cells. It has long been known that collagenous tissues exhibit a highly nonlinear stress-strain…
In linear elasticity, we decompose the elasticity tensor into two irreducible pieces with 15 and 6 independent components, respectively. The {\it vanishing} of the piece with 6 independent components corresponds to the Cauchy relations.…
Nonlinear elastic models are widely used to describe the elastic response of crystalline solids, for example, the well-known Cauchy-Born model. While the Cauchy-Born model only depends on the strain, effects of higher order strain gradients…

The shear response of soft solids can be modeled with linear elasticity, provided the forcing is slow and weak. Both of these approximations must break down when the material loses rigidity, such as in foams and emulsions at their…
The dependence of the elastic tensor on the equilibrium stress is investigated theoretically. Using ideas from finite-elasticity, it is first shown that both the equilibrium stress and elastic tensor are given uniquely in terms of the…
The modern theory of elasticity and the first law of thermodynamics are cornerstones of engineering science that share the concept of reversibility. Engineering researchers have known for four decades that the modern theory violates the…

In this paper we consider the problem of analytical continuation of solutions to the system of thermoelasticity in a bounded domain from their values and values of their strains on a part of the boundary of this domain, i.e., the Cauchy…
