Hysteresis and dynamic effects in the relationship between capillary pressure, saturation, and air-water interfacial area in porous media.
(2006)
Air-water interfacial areas (A) were measured for multiple drainages (primary, secondary, and scanning) using a newly developed method, along hysteretic Pc-S curves representing natural drying/wetting processes. The ...
A framework-based finite element approach for solving large deformation problems in multi-phase porous media.
(2005)
The performance of the uniform gradient element formulation is studied by simulating settlement of a footing and dynamic behavior of a saturated clay embankment and a level ground. Significant hourglassing is seen for the ...
Anisotropic poromechanics of the wellbore coupled with thermal and chemical gradients.
(2002)
A generalized anisotropic porothermoelastic formulation incorporating fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical response of saturated porous media is developed. Governing equations are tailored for transversely isotropic media ...
Static and dynamic behavior of multiphase porous media: Governing equations and finite element implementation.
(2001)
The mechanical behavior of porous media such as geomaterials is largely governed by the interactions of the solid skeleton (or grains) with the fluids existing in the pores. These interactions occur through the interfaces ...
The poromechanics of naturally fractured rock formations: A finite element approach.
(2003)
The mathematical models have been cast into finite element form and verified against analytical solutions for one-dimensional consolidation and an inclined wellbore in a fully saturated single-porosity formation subjected ...
