Abstract: In the presenl paper. the finite deformation and stress analysis for a hyperelasticrectangular plate with a center void under a uniaxial extension is studied. In order toconsider the effect of the exijtence of the void on the deformation and stress of theplate, the problem is reduced to the deformation and stress analysis for a hyperelusticannular plate and its approximate solution is obtained from the minimum potentialenergy principle. The growth of the cavitation iS also nunterically computed andanalysed.
