Identifying the mechanisms that control the formation of compaction bands is of high interest
in reservoir mechanics since these structures may drastically affect the performance of …

We present a study on compaction band in a high-porosity limestone (Tuffeau de Maastricht)
based on comparison and analysis of X-ray tomography observations and computational …

The formation of compaction bands in porous brittle rocks such as sandstones and
carbonates has a significant impact on the localization mechanisms preceding earth and …

Recent laboratory evidence shows that compaction creep in porous rocks may develop
through stages of acceleration, especially if the material is susceptible to strain localization …

Deformation experiments with concurrent X-ray microtomography are used to characterize
the mechanical properties of a high-porosity carbonate rock from Central Europe (the …

The mechanical behavior and the influence of compaction banding on the hydraulic
properties in soft porous rocks were studied. The tested rock was Calcarenite Tuffeau de …

This study presents the development of a thermodynamics-based constitutive model for
describing the macro-mechanical behaviour of porous rocks. The model formulation is …

Deformation experiments on porous rocks conducted at sufficiently high confining pressure
may result into localized compaction. While strain localization is expected to be triggered by …

In this paper the performance of a constitutive model for the description of the hydro
mechanical behaviour of soft rock is evaluated with respect to the experimentally observed …

This study examines the role of boundary friction in promoting heterogeneous compaction in
soft rock specimens loaded at high confining pressure outside the domain of compaction …
