The general thermomechanical and mixture theoretical model derived by Jussila [Transport Porous Med 62, 81–107 (2006)] is applied to the fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical description of swelling compacted bentonite. The particular form of the free energy of the clay constituent is chosen to take into account non-linear elastic strain and moisture swelling. The model parameters are calibrated by...
A general thermomechanical model is derived for a mixture. The model describes the behavior of the mixture via proper choices of free energy and dissipation function. A model for any combination of the mixture constituents can be reduced from the general model. The theory is applied to a thermohydraulic model for a mixture of compacted bentonite, liquid water, vapor, and air with the assumption of...
