Existence for Accreting Viscoelastic Solids at Large Strains
Source abstract
Abstract
By revisiting a model proposed in Zurlo and Truskinovsky (Mech. Res. Commun. 93:174–179, 2018 ), we address the accretive growth of a viscoelastic solid at large strains. The accreted material is assumed to accumulate at the boundary of the body in an unstressed state. The growth process is driven by the deformation state of the solid. The progressive build-up of incompatible strains in the material is modeled by considering an additional backstrain. The model is regularized by postulating the presence of a fictitious compliant material surrounding the accreting body. We show the existence of solutions to the coupled accretion and viscoelastic equilibrium problem.
