The Analytical Method in Geomechanics

This article presents an overview of the application of analytical methods in the theories of elasticity, poroelasticity, flow, and transport in porous media and plasticity to the solution of boundary value problems and initial boundary value problems of interest to geomechanics. The paper demonstrates the role of the analytical method in geomechanics in providing useful results that have practical importance, pedagogic value, and serve as benchmarking tools for calibrating computational methodologies that are ultimately used for solving more complex practical problems in geomechanics.
