During hydrostatic compression conducted within the elastic regime, P and S‐wave
velocities measured on porous rock samples generally increase with pressure and reach …

A brief review is given of the effect of porosity on the Poisson ratio of a porous material. In
contrast to elastic moduli such as K, G, or E, which always decrease with the addition of …

Several versions of the effective field method of finding the overall elastic properties of matrix
composites are examined and compared. We focus on difficulties and uncertainties …

Two approaches to predict the overall elastic properties of solids with regularly and
irregularly shaped pores are compared. The first approach involves direct finite element …

Contributions of 15 convex polyhedral particle shapes to the overall elastic properties of
particle-reinforced composites are predicted using micromechanical homogenization and …

A multiscale modeling approach is utilized to evaluate the contribution of irregularly shaped
three-dimensional pores to the overall elastic properties of carbon/carbon composites. The …

The complex variable theory is employed to find the analytical solution for rock stress around
square tunnels in a homogeneous, isotropic and elastic rock mass. The solution is more …

Existing models on the stress distribution around deep buried tunnels pay little attention to
the impact of rock-liner interaction and seepage variation. The conventional solution for …

This paper aims at deriving analytical expressions of mining-induced energy redistribution
around rectangular openings that involve local alteration of rock mass properties. As energy …

Property contribution tensors constitute basic building blocks for evaluation of effective
properties of heterogeneous materials. Most of the existing results, however, are obtained …
