Abstract

A thermodynamically consistent expression is derived for the functional structure of effective stress understood as the work conjugate of elastic strain. The study, focussed on compacted clays, is valid for both non-isothermal conditions and constant temperature. As a result, it is found that there is no evidence to assume a direct dependence of the effective stress on temperature. Therefore, it is consistent to follow the usually employed strategies based on evaluating the implicit dependence through air pressure, macrostructural liquid pressure and macrostructural degree of saturation.

期刊介绍： The aim of the Journal is to publish research results of the highest quality and of lasting importance on the subject of geomechanics, with the focus on applications to geological energy production and storage, and the interaction of soils and rocks with the natural and engineered environment. Special attention is given to concepts and developments of new energy geotechnologies that comprise intrinsic mechanisms protecting the environment against a potential engineering induced damage, hence warranting sustainable usage of energy resources. The scope of the journal is broad, including fundamental concepts in geomechanics and mechanics of porous media, the experiments and analysis of novel phenomena and applications. Of special interest are issues resulting from coupling of particular physics, chemistry and biology of external forcings, as well as of pore fluid/gas and minerals to the solid mechanics of the medium skeleton and pore fluid mechanics. The multi-scale and inter-scale interactions between the phenomena and the behavior representations are also of particular interest. Contributions to general theoretical approach to these issues, but of potential reference to geomechanics in its context of energy and the environment are also most welcome.
