Abstract

The elastostatic version of the null field approach is applied to the problem of computing the stress field around one or more pressurized cavities. The translation properties of the spherical solutions to the elastostatic equation of equilibrium are derived, and it is shown how to compute stresses also inside the circumscribing spheres of the cavities.
