The feasibility of using elastography for experimentally estimating and imaging the Poisson's ratio of porous media under drained and undrained conditions was investigated. Using standard elastographic procedures, static and time-sequenced poroelastograms (strain ratio images) of homogeneous cylindrical gelatin and commercially available tofu samples were generated under sustained applied axial...

A straightforward criterion to determine the limp model validity for porous materials is addressed here. The limp model is an "equivalent fluid" model which gives a better description of the porous behavior than the well known "rigid frame" model. It is derived from the poroelastic Biot model assuming that the frame has no bulk stiffness. A criterion is proposed to identify the porous materials...

Mud peeling is a common phenomenon whereby horizontal cracks propagate parallel to the surface of a drying clay. Differential stresses then cause the layer of clay above the crack to curl up to form a mud peel. By treating the clay as a poroelastic solid, we analyse the peeling phenomenon and show that it is caused by the gradient in tensile stress at the surface of the clay, analogously to the...

The nearly perfectly matched layer (NPML) method has been successfully applied to electromagnetic and elastodynamic wave equations including elastic isotropic and anisotropic media types to absorb spurious arrivals reflected from introduced boundaries in a number of numerical solution methods. It has been shown to be extremely satisfactory for this purpose. In this paper, a first-order velocity...

BACKGROUND The fluid load support fraction (W(F)/W(T)) can be used to define the mechanical contribution of the interstitial fluid (W(F)) to the total force (W(T)) in the deformation of cartilage. Traditionally, W(F)/W(T) is calculated using complex experimental setups or time-consuming micromechanical poroelastic Finite Element (FE) simulations. AIM To define and validate a fast and efficien...

We study the lubrication of fluid-immersed soft interfaces and show that elastic deformation couples tangential and normal forces and thus generates lift. We consider materials that deform easily, due to either geometry e.g., a shell or constitutive properties e.g., a gel or a rubber , so that the effects of pressure and temperature on the fluid properties may be neglected. Four different syste...

S U M M A R Y We present a unified continuum mechanics representation of the mechanisms believed to be commonly involved in post-seismic transients such as viscoelasticity, fault creep and poroelasticity. The time-dependent relaxation that follows an earthquake, or any other static stress perturbation, is considered in a framework of a generalized viscoelastoplastic rheology whereby some inelas...
