Hydromechanical modeling of solid deformation and fluid flow in the transversely isotropic fissured rocks

Q Zhang - Computers and Geotechnics, 2020 - Elsevier
Geomaterials containing fissures such as some sedimentary rocks often exhibit a bimodal
pore size distribution, and they are also inherently anisotropic due to the distinct bedding …
