... of an oil field, well integrity should be taken into account under the geomechanical perspective. The aim of this work is to show the influence of geomechanical effects over the integrity of an oil well, employing partially coupled fluid-mechanical simulations.

... of the equipment led to obtaining stress-strain diagrams similar to those resulting from servo-controlled testing machines. It was also found that the effect of coupling between elasticity and plasticity exists in some of the specimens, although for other specimens no such result was obtained. These results show...

... ABSTRACT: For a fractured rock, the coupling between thermal, hydraulical and mechanical behaviour requires alternative means of evaluation in discontinuous rocks than the ones used for porous media. In this paper, the case of a gallery containing high level nuclear waste and connected...

ABSTRACT: This paper presents the first part of the work that is currently being developed on an efficient finite element implementation for the solution of problems which involve the hydromechanical coupling in fractured rock masses. The multilaminar concept is used to describe the mechanical...

... concerns the representation of rock masses as an equivalent continuum. In this case, the so-called multilaminar model, introduced by Zienkiewicz & Pande (1977), was used to model the hydromechanical coupling in fractured rock masses. Another approach focused in the present paper, concerns...
