Abstract: Analytical solutions are derived for a pressure transmission experiment of a saturated charged compressible porous medium. The governing equations describe infinitesimal deformations of charged porous media saturated with ...

Abstract: The triphasic theory on soft charged hydrated tissues (, , and , 1991, “ A Triphasic Theory for the Swelling and Deformation Behaviors of Articular Cartilage,” ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 113, pp. ...

Abstract: Biological tissues like intervertebral discs and articular cartilage primarily consist of interstitial fluid, collagen fibrils and negatively charged proteoglycans. Due to the fixed charges of the ...

Abstract: Osmotic, electrostatic, and/or hydrational swellings are essential mechanisms in the deformation behavior of porous media, such as biological tissues, synthetic hydrogels, and clay-rich rocks. Present ...

Abstract: Uniaxial confined compression and swelling experiments on cylindrical specimens taken either in an axial or in a radial direction from a canine lumbar annulus fibrosus are presented. The loading ...

Abstract: This paper presents isogeometric analysis of a hygro-thermo-chemo-mechanical concrete model at early age and beyond. Balance equations are introduced at the microscale and averaged to obtain balance equations at the ...
