Abstract: A general finite element model is proposed to analyze transient phenomena in thermoelastic solids. Green and Lindsay’s dynamic thermoelasticity model is selected for that purpose since it allows ...

Abstract: The fluid‐saturated medium is viewed as a two‐phase continuum consisting of a solid porous skeleton with interconnected voids that are filled with a perfect fluid, and the formulation based on the theory of mixtures. ...

Abstract: It is demonstrated that elastic-plastic failure states may be captured in finite-element models by employing (1) the elastic-plastic material stiffness to form the global stiffness, (2) reduced/selective ...
