Photoporomechanics: An Experimental Method to Visualize the Effective Stress Field in Fluid-Filled Granular Media

Effective stress governs the mechanical behavior of porous media. In this study, we use photoelasticimetry to visualize the evolving effective stress field in fluid-filled granular media in processes that couple fluid flow and mechanical deformation. We refer to this experimental method as photoporo...
