The disturbance due to mechanical and thermal sources in saturated porous media with incompressible fluid for two-dimensional axi-symmetric problem is investigated. The Laplace and Hankel transforms techniques are used to investigate the problem. The concentrated source and source over circular region have been taken to show the utility of the approach. The transformed components of displacement, stress and pore pressure ... Read more

Biological tissues like articular cartilage and geomaterials like clay have a multicomponent microstructure. The charged solid is saturated by a viscous fluid, which itself is composed of several components: the liquid solvent and the dissolved ions, namely, water, anions and cations. These charged multiphase materials exhibit a swelling behaviour under varying chemical conditions. Read more
