Finding a coupling model between a hydraulic parameter such as permeability and a mechanical parameter such as damage is the key element for several recent engineering problems. A review of the technical literature reveals that several mechanical constitutive laws exist which allow determining a dam

β¦ Synopsis
This paper examines consolidation behaviour of saturated geomaterials with a matrix component which is susceptible to damage. Finite-element-based computational model accounts for the alteration in both the deformability and permeability characteristics of the porous material due to damage evolution. The isotropic damage criteria governing the evolution of elastic stiffness and hydraulic conductivity parameters are characterized by the dependency of the damage variable on the distortional strain invariant. The computational procedure is utilized to evaluate the extent to which the time-dependent axisymmetric indentation behaviour of a rigid circular punch on a poroelastic half-space can be influenced by the damage evolution in the porous skeleton.

To avoid the well-known drawbacks of the classical continuum damage theory when localization occurs, an isotropic gradient-enchanced damage model is proposed in which the loading function not only depends on the damage value, but also on its Laplacian. The initial boundary value problem obtained ado
## Abstract In West Bengal, India, more than 300,000 arsenicβexposed people are showing symptoms of arsenic toxicity, which include cancers of skin and different internal organs. Since only 15β20% of the exposed population manifest arsenicβinduced skin lesions, it is thought that genetic variation
