The effect of the distribution of voids over a grain boundary facet, on the void growth process, has been modelled. Assuming the grains to behave as rigid slabs which move apart during cavitation at a uniform rate, any non-uniformity of void spacing results in stress redistribution over the facet. T

β¦ Synopsis
Void growth is analysed when a grain boundary contains a distribution of second phase particles. The rate of void growth is determined by the ease with which material can plate out around the particles or the rate at which the material surrounding the particln can deform by power-law creep. At low applied stresses, stress is concentrated onto the particles which can act as nucleating sites for new cavities. The stress at a particle is a function of its size, and increases as the area fraction of voids increases. A new cavity can nucleate once this stress reaches a critical value, and because materials contain a distribution of particle sizes, nucleation occurs continuously during the course of an experiment.

## Abstract In this paper, an attempt has been made to investigate the temperature field in a twoβdimensional thermoelastic medium with voids. This takes place when it is subjected to a timeβdependent temperature source under the conditions of conduction heat transfer and interaction between the th
The interaction of a straight screw dislocation and the free surface of an infinitely long piezoelectric cylinder with the poling direction as the generator of this cylinder is analyzed. The dislocation line is oriented in the poling direction. By using the conformal mapping method, the expressions
## Growth laws are derived for coplanar spherical caps and discs of constant height which are coarsening via surface diffusion. The analysis includes the effects of anisotropic particle/ substrate interface energies. These results are also extended to analysis of normal and secondary grain growth
