Abstract
The problem of external pressurization and release is solved for a hollow sphere of incompressible material obeying Coulomb’s law of failure. The resulting relations between the applied pressure and the porosity of the sphere are used in formulating constitutive relations for the volumetric response of porous rocks. The theoretical predictions are compared with experimental data for a sandstone and a tuff.Keywords
