Biological polymers, viz., proteins, membranes and micelles exhibit structural discontinuities in terms of spaces unfilled by the polymeric phase, termed voids. These voids exhibit dynamics and lead to interesting properties which are experimentally demonstrable. In the specific case of phospholipid
Recent studies revealed that rapid void growth is the dominant failure mechanism in an elasto-plastic solid under high mean tensile stress. This paper studies the effect of the surface energy and void size to the void growth. The models of a thick spherical shell and a thick spherical column in void
