Void Growth

Void Growth is a microstructural evolution mechanism in damage mechanics and diffusion bonding, characterized by the progressive expansion of pre-existing or nucleated cavities within a material due to localized plastic deformation, interfacial diffusion, or stress-driven mass transport, distinguishing it from other damage mechanisms by its dependence on vacancy accumulation and surface energy dynamics at bonded interfaces.
