Computational Modeling of Growth with and without discontinuities in the biological structure
Growth problems come under open system thermodynamics. The open system thermodynamics
developed by Ellen Kulh et al. is used. Bone growth and healing with and without discontinuity
are studied. A crack block element is introduced to discrete mesh geometry to capture the stress
singularity at the crack,. Influence of stress singularity near the crack tip is currently being investigated
