Abstract
We model the elastic field near the void using a Modified Molecular Static method. Results show that the atom displacements near nanovoids significantly differ for various crystallographic directions in bcc metals. Using some results of these calculations, we estimate the void growth rates following various directions basing on recently obtained equations of vacancy diffusion under strain. This growth rate anisotropy helps to explain the change in shape observed for many voids.
