               Figure 3.1. Schematic illustration of elastic, poroelastic, elastic–plastic and viscoelastic
               constitutive laws. In the left panels, analogous physical models are shown, in the center, idealized
               stress–strain curves, and in right panels, schematic diagrams representing more realistic rock
               behavior are shown.
