Evaluation de l'influence des changements de géométrie sur les déformations de séchage d'un milieu poreux fissuré

Translated title of the contribution: Influence of geometry changes on drying-induced strains in a cracked solid

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The macroscopic response of a cracked solid subjected to drying is investigated within the framework of micromechanics. The originality of this contribution lies in the fact that the variations of the aspect ratios of cracks induced by the capillary pressure increase are accounted for. When the initial aspect ratio is small enough, it is shown that neglecting the geometrical changes yields an erroneous prediction of the sign of the macroscopic volume strain rate.
