In this paper, the strain energy function proposed by Shang and Cheng was generalized by introducing a nonlinear term.Void formation and growth in the interior of a sphere composed of compressible hyper-elastic material, subjected to a prescribed uniform displacement, was examined.A parametric cavitated bifurcation solution for the radial deformed function was obtained.Stability of the solution of the cavitated bifurcation equation was discussed.With the appearance of a cavity, an interesting feature of the radial deformation near the deformed cavity wall is the transition from extension to compression.
