... ABSTRACT: The Eshelby like approach is used to successfully model the stress, strain and displacement fields associated with a depleting/inflating reservoir. A modified Cam-Clay material model is implemented as the constitutive equations for the reservoir material. The exterior...

... ABSTRACT: In this paper we discuss the use of the Modified Cam-Clay material model applied to the problem of borehole stability. We consider the case of a thick walled cylinder (TWC), which is easily extended to a borehole by allowing the outer radius to go to large values. Three mechanisms...
