Mass-growth at small strain and the human nail

Abstract eng:
y The nail apparatus comprises the living soft tissue nail matrix and the hard, dead tissue nail plate. This paper models the nail matrix germinal activity by combining the constitutive equations of hyper-elastic mass-growth detailed in [l] with the concept of incompressible, small strain growth. Full details of the outlined modelling and analytical development have just appeared in [2], where details are also provided of the manner in which the obtained analytical solution forms the basic approximation of its slight or moderately incompressible mass- growth counterpart.
