Effect of strain hardening and rate sensitivity on the dynamic growth
of a void in a plastic material
Journal of Applied Mechanics, Transactions ASME, 59 (1):
48--53 (1992)Abstract
The problem studied in this paper concerns the dynamic expansion of
a spherical void in an unbounded solid under the action of remote
hydrostic tension. The void is assumed to remain spherical throughout
the deformation and the matrix to be incompressible. The effects
of inertia, strain hardening, and rate sensitivity on the short and
long-term behavior of the void, as well as on its response to ramp
loading, are investigated in detail.
