Abstract: The equilibration of an axisymmetric, linearly poroelastic layer of finite thickness is determined given an immobile, impermeable base and an impermeable, stress-free top surface. Analytical and ...

Abstract: Using the biphasic theory of Biot (1941), we examine the evolution of deformations of a poroelastic layer, secured at its base to a rigid plane and having a stress-free, impermeable upper ...

Abstract: Spreading of a new surfactant in the presence of a pre-existing surfactant distribution is investigated both experimentally and theoretically for a thin viscous substrate. The experiments are ...
