 Abstract

In this study several models for burn contraction are studied. The first ones are rudimentary, but as the thesis progresses we work towards so-called morphoelastic models. These inherently capture both elastic and plastic deformations. After establishing the deterministic part, a framework is built for the incorporation of heterogeneity.
