The importance, and the difficulty, of generating biosynthetic articular cartilage is widely
recognized. Problems arise from obtaining sufficient stiffness, toughness and longevity in the …

We utilize an integrated permeability and porosity measurement system to measure the
stress dependent permeability and porosity of Pliocene to Pleistocene sedimentary rocks …

Argillite is considered a privileged candidate for long term nuclear waste storage. Yet
argillite rock drilling often induces surface cracks that locally modify its permeability. This …

We assess the durability of an Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete
(UHPFRC) after accelerated aging, ie after partial drying, or 105° C oven-drying (dry …

This paper is devoted to experimental investigation of mechanical behavior, poroelastic
properties and permeability in saturated sandstone. The emphasis is to study the evolution …

This paper presents a computational model coupling heat, water and salt ion transport, salt
crystallization, deformation and damage in porous materials. We focus on crystallization …

During the development of oil and gas fields, the permeability of the reservoirs decreases
due to a decrease in reservoir pressure and an increase in effective pressure, as a result of …

We present a novel poro-damage-viscoelastic model for predicting the failure response of
fluid-saturated porous geomaterials. The Generalized Maxwell model is introduced for the …

This experimental work aims at studying the influence of temperature on mechanical
behaviour and poro-mechanical properties of an oolitic limestone from Anstrude, France …

Many natural building stones are altered when subjected to freeze-thaw (FT) cycles. On the
one hand, the sensitivity of a material to FT damage has been quantified in the past by the …
