Hierarchical poroelasticity: movement of interstitial fluid between porosity levels in bones.

چکیده
The governing equations for the theory of poroelastic materials with hierarchical pore space architecture and compressible constituents undergoing small deformations are developed. These equations are applied to the problem of determining the exchange of pore fluid between the vascular porosity (PV) and the lacunar-canalicular porosity (PLC) in bone tissue due to cyclic mechanical loading and blood pressure oscillations. The result is basic to the understanding of interstitial flow in bone tissue that, in turn, is basic to understanding of nutrient transport from the vasculature to the bone cells buried in the bone tissue and to the process of mechanotransduction by these cells. A formula for the volume of fluid that moves between the PLC and PV in a cyclic loading is obtained as a function of the cyclic mechanical loading and blood pressure oscillations. Formulas for the oscillating fluid pore pressure in both the PLC and the PV are obtained as functions of the two driving forces, the cyclic mechanical straining and the blood pressure, both with specified amplitude and frequency. The results of this study also suggest a PV permeability greater than 10(-9) m(2) and perhaps a little lower than 10(-8) m(2). Previous estimates of this permeability have been as small as 10(-14) m(2).

Theoretical Analysis of Fluid Pressure Response to Cyclic Loading in Cylindrical Trabecular Bone Modeled as Poroelastic Material
Trabecular bone is a microstructural component of cancellous bone, forming a three-dimensional network structure. The typical individual trabecula is regarded as a cylindrical porous material which is composed of a calcified bone matrix and interstitial fluid in a lacuno-canalicular porosity. For a physiological range of activities excluding shocks, trabeculae in vivo are usually subjected to l...
متن کاملFundamental Solutions of Dynamic Poroelasticity and Generalized Termoelasticity
Fundamental solutions of dynamic poroelasticity and generalized thermoelasticity are derived in the Laplace transform domain. For poroelasticity, these solutions define the solid displacement field and the fluid pressure in fluid-saturated media due to a point force in the solid and an injection of fluid in the pores. In addition, approximate fundamental solutions for short times are derived by...

We consider unsteady poroelasticity problem in fractured porous medium within the classical Barenblatt double-porosity model. For numerical solution of doubleporosity poroelasticity problems we construct splitting schemes with respect to physical processes, where transition to a new time level is associated with solving separate problem for the displacements and fluid pressures in pores and fra...

Effect of porosity on the characteristics of underwater acoustic sound absorbers using theoretical models
Porous materials have good acoustic damping characteristics over a wide frequency range. As for sound waves, many small-scale pores in the coating materials can convert underwater-coating to rough surfaces. The main property of porous absorbents is their resistance against incident sound wave that leads to damping effect. From a physical point of view, damping occurs due to friction between flu...
