Test Case 2: (a) shows the Von Mises stress distribution. (b) shows the horizontal displacement (\(u_x\)) at initial time step and (c) shows the same after 275 days. Similarly (d,e) show the vertical deformation at initial and final time step respectively. (f) shows the permeability computed from the volumetric strain. (g,h) abd (i) show the variation of strains (\(\varepsilon _{xx}, \varepsilon _{yy}\)) and von Mises stress respectively with time near the cavern at the points as shown in Fig. 4.
