Void Nucleation

Void Nucleation is a micromechanical damage mechanism denoting the formation of microscopic cavities at material inhomogeneities, such as grain boundaries, second-phase particles, or dislocation junctions, under sustained stress and elevated temperature, marking the initial stage of ductile fracture in creep deformation.
