Fig. 12. (a) Inclusion pressure pi and (b) aspect ratio {lambda} within linear elastic material under isotropic ({Sigma}11 = {Sigma}22 = 0 to 100 kPa) and anisotropic ({Sigma}11 = 100 kPa, {Sigma}22 = 0...100 kPa) remote stress with fluid compressibility {kappa} = 5 x 10–7 kPa–1 (water), soil bulk modulus K = 104 kPa and Poisson's ratio {nu} = 0.3 for different membrane stiffness (KMe, {nu} = 0.49).
