On A Saturated Poromechanical Framework and Its Relation to Abaqus Soil Mechanics and Biot Poroelasticity Frameworks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
We introduce a conservational and constitutive framework for a closed and isothermal two-phase material system consisting of a deformable porous solid matrix and a fully saturating, single-phase, and compressible pore fluid without inter-phase mass exchange. We re-derive a generalized fluid mass balance law using fundamental transport rules.
