Mechanics of moving defects in growing sheets: 3-d, small deformation theory

Abstract Growth and other dynamical processes in soft materials can create novel types of mesoscopic defects including discontinuities for the second and higher derivatives of the deformation, and terminating defects for these discontinuities. These higher-order defects move “easily", and can t...
