Constitutive modelling and microstructure Hydro-mechanical formulation considering fluid compressibility

When solids and fluid compressibility influence in porous media behavior is considered possible, a new type of approach for mechanical and hydraulic behavior may be presented.

A fully coupled hydro-mechanical formulation with this consideration was presented by Jesus (2012). This formulation was fully described by the author, followed by its implementation, validation and calibration in ALLFINE (Farias, 1993; Cordão Neto, 2005; Jesus, 2012).
