Abstract: So far, no effective methods have been found to measure shale dual-porosity dual-permeability poromechanical and chemical parameters. This paper presents a practical method to determine such parameters by matching the newly ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional Mandel-type problem geometry is well-known to bio-geomechanicians for testing rocks, cartilages, and bones with solutions in Cartesian coordinates for rectangular specimens or ...

Abstract: Cylindrical geometries are known to present special problem simulation capabilities in engineering design. (For example, solid and hollow cylinder tests are routinely studied in soil and rock ...

Abstract: The cylinder is the geometry most widely used in laboratory testing procedures for rocks and other geomaterials. This paper applies a unified and universal Lamé solution to all the three ...

Abstract: The distribution of stress in an isotropic and infinitely large plate perforated by circular holes has long attracted attention from both mathematical and engineering standpoints. Unfortunately, ...

Abstract: The porochemoelastic analytical models and solutions have been used to describe the response of chemically active saturated porous media such as clays, shales, and biological tissues. To date, all existing solutions are ...

Abstract: The transverse anisotropic poromechanics solution for the two-dimensional Mandel-type problem geometry is extended in this paper to account for the orthotropic nature of the porous media, thus mimicking the response of ...

Abstract: This paper presents the poroelastic dual-porosity dual-permeability analytical solutions simulating the pressure transmission test on chemically active shale, taking into account shale anisotropy and electrokinetic effects. ...
