Geometry and Mechanics of Growing, Nonlinearly Elastic Plates and Membranes

Until the twentieth century, theories of elastic rods and shells arose from collections of geometric and mechanical assumptions and approximations. These theories often lacked internal consistency and were appropriate for highly proscribed and sometimes unknown geometries and deformation sizes. The...
