The term “geomechanics” means different things to people. We assert that in the petroleum industry broad consensus for a definition would probably be something like this: Geomechanics is discipline investigates rock mechanical behavior subsurface (i.e., at wellbore wall, overburden, cap rock, and/or reservoir) under present-day in-situ stress and pore pressure conditions or those changed throug...

Analytical solutions are developed for the response of saturated porous media under twodimensional plane strain condition. Depending on the nature of loading vis-à-vis the characteristics of the media, different formulations (fully dynamic, partially dynamic, quasi-static) are possible. The solutions for these formulations are developed in terms of non-dimensional parameters. The regions of val...

The parallel performance and efficiency of boundary element methods in the solution of inelastic problems are investigated. A parallel algorithm based on the so-called initial stress scheme for inelastic analysis is developed and implemented in BEMGEO (Boundary Element Method program for GEOmechanics applications). Numerical examples solved on an SP2 of 34 thin nodes are presented which highlig...

One way to include fracture and fragmentation when analyzing loaded mechanical systems is based on the DEM, [2], [3]. In recent years this approach was adopted in geomechanics and civil engineering to model fracture in elastic-brittle materials, e.g. [1] and [5]. Using this approach, the material is considered as being fully discontinuous and made up by assembling and bonding adjacent discrete ...
