Anticavitation and differential growth in elastic shells

Elastic anticavitation is the phenomenon of a void in an elastic solid collapsing on itself. Under the action of mechanical loading alone, very few materials admit anticavitation. We study the possibility of anticavitation as a consequence of an imposed differential growth.Working in the geometry of...
