Table 3 Parameters for the Chemical Expansion Stress used in the Simulations. The parameters of the chemical expansion stress [i.e., Eq. (12)] for Test A were from Lai et al. [4] and Gu et al. [5]. The parameters for the chemical expansion stress [i.e., Eq. (11)] for Tests B and C were from Eisenberg and Grodzinsky [14]
