Poromechanics of Anisotropic Hollow Cylinders
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 129, Issue 11
Abstract
It has been known that inherent material anisotropy influences the mechanics of geoengineering applications. Aiming at the experimental studies associated with geoengineering applications in anisotropic materials, this paper proposes a poromechanics analysis of a fully saturated transversely isotropic hollow cylinder. Closed-form analytical solutions for the pore pressure and stress fields were derived. These solutions are obtained under various loading conditions that are encountered in laboratory testing procedures. Numerical analyses were carried out to demonstrate the material anisotropy effect on stress, displacement, and pore pressure distributions in the cylinder. It is also shown that uncertainties in the estimation or measurements of the poromechanical parameters have proven effects on the time-dependent responses of the hollow cylinder geometry during laboratory testing.
