In this paper, a generalized dynamical theory of thermoelasticity is employed to study disturbances in an infinite elastic solid containing a spherical cavity which is subjected to step rise in temperature in its inner boundary and an impulsive dynamic pressure on its surface. The problem is solved by the use of the Laplace transform on time. The short time approximations for the stress, displacement and temperature are obtained to examine their discontinuities at the respective wavefronts. It is shown that the instantaneous change in pressure and temperature at the cavity wall gives rise to elastic and thermal disturbances which travel with finite velocities v1 and v2(>v1) respectively. The stress, displacement and temperature are found to experience discontinuities at the respective wavefronts. One of the significant findings of the present analysis is that there is no diffusive nature of the waves as found in classical theory.

The paper is concerned with a particular case of stress amplification arising from the proximity of a spherical cavity to the boundary of a loaded elastic solid. The performed approximate analysis yields distributions of stresses and displacements in the narrow region formed between a spherical cavity and the faces of a thin flat layer subjected to a far field uniform radial tension. The narrow region is modelled as a circular plate of non-uniform thickness undergoing coupled membrane and flexural deformation. Series solutions are obtained for both membrane forces and bending moments leading to estimates for the stress concentration factor at minimum thickness. These predictions are found consistent with those obtained from both the exact analytical solution and finite element modelling of the problem. Cross-validated results from the two latter methods also provide trends for the stress amplification due to the narrowness of the region.
