The Material Point Method (MPM) is widely used to analyse coupled (solid-water) problems
under large deformations/displacements. However, if not addressed carefully, MPM up …

[PDF][PDF] Consequences of Terzaghi's effective stress decomposition in the context of finite strain poro-mechanics

G Pretti, WM Coombs, CE Augarde - 2024 - durham-repository.worktribe.com
Poro-mechanics is a branch of mechanics considering the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a
porous solid medium whose pores are saturated by a fluid. The presence of both these …
