Analysis of coordination characteristics and radial distribution functions reveals no evidence of phase transformations, but indicates the development of non–affine deformation of the crystalline lattice. Examination of bond angle distributions demonstrates local distortions of the tetrahedral configuration characteristic of silicon, accompanied by an increased angular spread and the formation of irreversible local rearrangements corresponding to plastic deformation. Shock–induced local restructuring of the atomic configuration, breaking of centrosymmetry, and the emergence of residual elastic stresses result in observable peak shifts in the X-ray diffraction and Raman spectra in the post–shock state.

For the first time, this spatiotemporal approach is applied to the complex interaction between macro- and micro–voids in a spherical geometry. The governing equations for displacement, stresses, and coupled void volume fractions are derived, non–dimensionalized, and solved analytically using a time–harmonic approach with spherical Bessel functions. Numerical simulations demonstrate that increasing spatiotemporal nonlocality significantly smooths stress distributions and enhances damping near cavity surfaces, effectively mitigating stress concentrations that are prevalent in classical models. The analysis further uncovers distinctive wave modes arising from the interplay between dual porosity scales and applied radial stresses. As the first comprehensive treatment of spatiotemporal nonlocality in double–porosity spherical cavities, this work establishes a robust theoretical tool for predicting dynamic stability in advanced materials, with broad relevance for geomechanics, porous biomaterials, and subsurface engineering.</p>","PeriodicalId":726,"journal":{"name":"Physical Mesomechanics","volume":"29 5","pages":"813 - 836"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148981332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
