The cavitation phenomenon in nonlinear elasticity

This thesis studies the phenomenon of cavitation in nonlinear elasticity. In Chapter 2 we study the problem of cavitation in a ball of elastic material which is subjected to a radial dead-load on its boundary. We show that the rotationally symmetric equilibrium solution, in which a spherical cavity...
