Abstract:
An exact solution that describes the fields of displacements and stresses in an expanding spherical layer is constructed within the framework of the theory of small strains of a granular medium with rigid particles. For finite strains, the problem reduces to a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved by numerical methods. Similar solutions are found in the problem for a cylindrical layer. Based on these solutions, the effect of the dilatancy of the granular medium on the stress-strain state near expanding cavities is found.
