Growth. Total, natural, and expansion-induced growth are calculated from prestrain, total deformation, and elastic deformation. The columns show the decomposition of the total growth tensor Fg into natural growth Fgn and expansion-induced growth Fge. The rows showcase the total area growth ϑg and the corresponding growth stretches λ1g and λ2g parallel and perpendicular to the midline. Natural growth is more homogeneous than expansion-induced growth, which is larger in regions where the overall deformation is larger.
