STRESS DEPENDENT THERMAL PRESSURIZATION OF A FLUID-SATURATED ROCK (2009)

Temperature increase in saturated porous materials under undrained condition leads to thermal pressurization of the pore fluid due to the discrepancy between the thermal expansion coefficients of the pore fluid and of the solid matrix. This increase in the pore fluid pressure induces a reduction of the effective mean stress and can lead to shear failure or hydraulic fracturing.
