Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on fundamentals of poroelasticity. The presence of
a freely moving fluid in a porous rock modifies its mechanical response. Two mechanisms …

Water injection in enhanced geothermal systems sets in motion coupled poro-thermo-chemo-
mechanical processes that impact the reservoir dynamics and productivity. The variation of …

Numerical simulations of multistage hydraulic fracturing usually neglect poroelastic effects.
However, in case of low permeability reservoirs, where hydraulic fracturing is usually carried …

Coupled thermo-poro-chemo-mechanical processes in geothermal systems impact the
reservoir response during injection and production procedures by affecting fracture …

A boundary element method is developed for transient and time harmonic analysis of
problems in dynamic poroelasticity and generalized thermoelasticity, involving both two-and …

The development of the boundary element method (BEM) as a general problem solving tool,
which started in the early 1960s, has now reached a fairly advanced state. It is now possible …

This paper presents a unified formulation of the various singular integral equations used in
the boundary element methods (BEM) for the solution of linear, quasi-static, anisotropic …

Three-dimensional stress and pore pressure distributions around a hydraulic fracture are
numerically calculated to analyze the potential for formation failure resulting from …

In this paper, a three-dimensional, fully coupled poroelastic, displacement discontinuity
method is developed and used to analyze the temporal variation of slip, and opening of a …

A boundary element formulation for three-dimensional size-dependent couple stress
elastostatic analysis is developed for the first time in the present work. The resulting …
