Influence of stoppers on dislocational mechanism of growth and healing of voids under loading

A system of integral equations describing the final state of a pore in the presence of a stopper was derived and accurately solved. Found were the clear-cut relationships between the radii of the pores and the pressures in the most interesting, physically limiting cases. Suggested is a criterion of the prevailing influence of the stopper upon the growth and the healing of pores under load as compared to the friction force
