Cavitation is the unstable unhindered expansion of a microscopic void in a solid elastomer under the action of tensile hydrostatic stresses. This can occur whenever the hydrostatic tension exceeds 5/6 of Young's modulus. The cavitation phenomenon may manifest in any of the following situations: * imposed hydrostatic tensile stress acting on a pre-existing void * void pressurization due to gases that are generated due to chemical action (as in volatilization of low-molecular weight waxes or oils: 'blowpoint' for insufficiently cured rubber, or 'thermal blowout' for systems operating at very high temperature) * void pressurization due to gases that come out of solution (as in gases dissolved at high pressure) ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cavitation (elastomers)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
