Many geological materials, such as shale, mudstone, carbonate rock, limestone and rock
salt are multi-porosity porous media in which pores of different scales may co-exist in the …

Here we employ and adapt the image-to-image translation concept based on conditional
generative adversarial networks (cGAN) for learning a forward and an inverse solution …

Under a pure tensile loading, cracks in brittle, isotropic, and homogeneous materials often
propagate such that pure mode I kinematics are maintained at the crack tip. However …

The large amount of spoil material produced during the mining process imposes a
significant economic and environmental liability on lignite producers. In this context, the …

The failure behavior of geological materials depends heavily on confining pressure and
strain rate. Under a relatively low confining pressure, these materials tend to fail by brittle …

We investigate three aspects of material behavior in this ninth installment of the Cam-Clay
series, namely, anisotropy, heterogeneity, and viscoplasticity. The main focus of the paper is …

Coupled poromechanical problems appear in a variety of disciplines, from reservoir
engineering to biomedical applications. This work focuses on efficient strategies for solving …

We present a continuum framework for coupled solid deformation–fluid flow in anisotropic
elastoplastic porous media. A thermodynamic formulation of the coupled processes gives …

Closed-form expressions for poroelastic coefficients are derived for anisotropic materials
exhibiting single and double porosity. A novel feature of the formulation is the use of the …

Geologic shear fractures such as faults and slip surfaces involve marked friction along the
discontinuities as they are subjected to significant confining pressures. This friction plays a …
