Abstract

A comparison of the original elastic solution for the center of dilation with the classic Lamé solution reveals an unexpected dependence of the center of dilation solution on Poisson's ratio. This inconsistency is investigated by means of two alternative representations of the singularity which lead to the identification of a compressed zone inside the singularity. The poroelastic equivalent to this nucleus of strain is shown to be the superposition of the elastic one with drained material parameters and an instantaneous point fluid source associated with a finite volume of fluid that is expelled from the compressed region inside the singularity and is injected in the porous medium.
