Abstract

An analysis of the elastic transient associated with grain boundary diffusion controlled cavity growth has been made for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional (axisymmetric) cavities using a technique developed by Raj. We find that characteristic times for the elastic transient,t E, and for the steady state diffusional growth process,t D, can be used to formulate expressions for the initial growth of a cavity of unit volume as follows:
