The cylinder is the geometry most widely used in laboratory testing procedures for rocks and other geomaterials. This paper applies a unified and universal Lame´ solution to all the three recognized right-cylindrical problems in poromechanics. As such, the solution of the hollow-cylinder features itself converging asymptotically to the exact values predicted by the solutions of the two other essential problem setups in geomechanics; namely, the finite solid cylinder case and the borehole core in an infinite medium. The time-dependent response derivations were “scripted” within the frameworks of the Biot’s theory of linear poroelasticity and facilitated by the governing generalized plane-strain (GPS) principle.
