On the ductile enlargement of voids in triaxial stress fields

TL;DR: In this article, a variational principle is established to characterize the flow field in an elastically rigid and incompressible plastic material containing an internal void or voids, and an approximate Rayleigh-Ritz procedure is developed and applied to the enlargement of an isolated spherical void in a nonhardening material.
