Abstract
Porous media models can be described by use of the theory of mixtures combined with the volume fraction concept (porous media theories), within the framework of a macroscopic formulation. Based on this concept, we will explore a general approach to porous media linear-elasticity for a binary system consisting of a linear-elastic solid matrix saturated by an incompressible viscous pore liquid. In the framework of the finite theory the concept generally leads to a geometrically and physically nonlinear problem. Transformation toward a weak formulation yields a matrix scheme of partial Differential-Algebraic Equations, which is solved by a singly diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta method.
