Evolution of pore pressure during triaxial deformation of Westerly granite under varying strain rates.

The dataset contains experimental results presented in the manuscript “Dilatant strengthening: experimental evidence of competition between strain-rate and fluid diffusion in thermally cracked Westerly granite.” The data correspond to figures in the article and include measurements of mechanical response under controlled strain-rate conditions, with emphasis on the interplay between strain-rate effects and fluid diffusion in thermally cracked Westerly granite. These results provide direct experimental evidence for dilatant strengthening processes and illustrate the competition between deformation rate and fluid transport in rock fracture systems.
