The influence of the pore shape on the bulk modulus and the Biot coefficient of fluid-saturated porous rocks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fluid-saturated rocks are multi-phasic materials and the mechanics of partitioning the externally applied stresses between the porous skeleton of the rock and the interstitial fluids has to take into consideration the mechanical behaviour of the phases. In these studies the porosity of the multi-phasic material is important for estimating the multi-phasic properties and most studies treat the porosity as a scalar measure without addressing the influence of pore shape and pore geometry. This paper shows that both the overall bulk modulus of a porous medium and the Biot coefficient depend on the shape of the pores. Pores with shapes resembling either thin oblate spheroids or spheres are considered. The Mori-Tanaka and the self-consistent methods are used to estimate the overall properties and the results are compared with experimental data. The pore density and the aspect ratio of the spheroidal pores influence the porosity of the geomaterials. For partially saturated rocks, the equivalent bulk modulus of the fluid-gas mixture occupying the pore space can also be obtained. The paper also examines the influence of the pore shape in estimating the Biot coefficient that controls the stress partitioning in fluid-saturated poroelastic materials.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
