On the near-critical behavior of cavitation in elastic plane membranes (2017)
Journal Article
(2017). On the near-critical behavior of cavitation in elastic plane membranes. International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2017.04.012

Abstract Material cavitation under tensile loading is often studied by assuming the pre-existence of a small void. In this case the void would initially grow but without significant change in its size, and cavitation is said to take place if this slo...
