Abstract

Our aim in future is to computer simulate the mechanical stimulated postnatal heart development (normal growth, heart hypertrophy, etc.). We are now interested in the study of the form of growth law [1], which we could use for the simulation. We follow the theory of volumetric growth in [1]. This theory is based on the theory of generalized continuum [2] and describes the volumetric growth of tissue from macroscopic point of view.
