Models for thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of saturated/unsaturated porous media are
reviewed. The necessary balance equations are derived using averaging theories …

Dynamics of the widespread saturated and semi-saturated soil–rock mixtures (SRMs) are of
importance in practical engineering. In this paper, a numerical manifold model is presented …

This paper presents a complete finite‐element treatment for unsaturated soil problems. A
new formulation of general constitutive equations for unsaturated soils is first presented. In …

Acoustic wave phenomena in porous media containing multiphase fluids have received
considerable attention in recent years because of an increasing scientific awareness of …

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 …

A fully coupled dynamic model is presented for the analysis of water and air flow in
deforming porous media, in fully or partially saturated conditions. The solid displacements …

The conventional uniaxial compression test is used to investigate the interaction of two
preexisting cracks with an internal hole in some typical gypsum specimens in the laboratory …

Abstract Abstract. The Picard and modified Picard iteration schemes are often used to
numerically solve the nonlinear Richards equation governing water flow in variably …

In this paper, a fully coupled numerical model is presented for the finite element analysis of
the deforming porous medium interacting with the flow of two immiscible compressible …

Cracking and damage from crystallization of minerals in pores center on a wide range of
problems, from weathering and deterioration of structures to storage of CO 2 via in situ …
