1 INTRODUCTION

Finite element solution procedures of coupled problems which include deformation of solid and 5fluid flow through a porous medium have been the subject of investigation of many authors 1shy

Implementation of these methods has been directed to geomechanics and to biomechanics Many important practical problems such as settlement of foundation under loading and with water flow through porous solid skeletons have been solved numerically confirming the correctness of the theoretical basis and numerical (FE) procedures Application of the FE analysis to these coupled problems in biomechanics is still in the development phase

There are differences in some details related to compressibility of solid material In our formulashytion we follow approach of Lewis 1 In transformation of the basic relations to the FE formulashytion some authors use displacements of solid and fluid pressure as the nodal point variables (u-p formulation) like Lewis l and Siriwardane2 leading to a symmetrical system of equations Simon3 proposes two formulations (i) displacements of solid and relative displacements of fluid - with a symmetric system and (ii) u-p formulation - with a non-symmetric system Gaj0 4 uses displacements of solid and fluid and pressure with a symmetric system of equations Small displacements are considered in References 1-4 with material non-linearity of the solidI2 while in Reference 5 a large displacement formulation is given

In our presentation we give in some detail the derivation of dynamic FE equations for small displacements and linear material behaviour following Simon et al3 and Lewis et al for the fluid continuity equation This approach relies on the balance of the linear momentum of solid and fluid and the continuity of fluid which takes into account the compressibility of solid and of fluid The paper represents a generalization of the approach given in Kojic et al6 We include electrokinetic coupling by using linearized electrokinetics and a continuity equation for the current density according to References 7 and 8 From the electrokinetic coupling follows a correction of the equation of balance of linear momentum for fluid

The above formulation is suitable for general use since we can implement all boundary conditions appearing in the applications boundary conditions for solid relative fluid velocity given current density and electrical potential

In the next Section we summarize the fundamental equations of the coupled problem described above and then in Section 3 we derive the basic FE equations for linear dynamics In Section 4 some typical numerical examples from biomechanics are presented and finally we give some concluding remarks in Section 5

2 FUNDAMENTAL EQUATIONS

We present here the fundamental equations supposing first that displacements of the solid are small which represent the basis for the FE formulation in Section 3 The assumptions are that the solid is linear elastic with compressible material of the skeleton and that the fluid is comshypressible Also we consider the dynamic problem and take into account inertial forces of the solid and the fluid We first present all governing equations in the case when there is no electroshykinetic coupling and then give corrections due to this effect

The balance equation of the solid in the case of no electric coupling can be written in the form

(1 - n)LT (Js + (1 - n)psb + k-1nq - (1 - n)psii == 0 (1)

where (Js is stress in the solid phase n is porosity k is the permeability matrix Ps is the density of the solid b is the body force per unit mass q is the relative velocity of the fluid ii is the acceleration of the solid material and LT is the differential operator

The balance equation of the fluid phase (no electrokinetic coupling) is

-nVp + nprb - k-1nq - nprvr == 0 (2)

383 A FINITE ELEMENT SOLUTION PROCEDURE

where p is the pore fluid pressure Pr is the density of the fluid and vr is the acceleration of the fluid This equation is also known as the generalized Darcy law Both equilibrium equations are written per unit volume of the mixture Combining equations (1) and (2) we obtain

L T

(J + pb - pii - PrCt == 0 (3)

where (J is the total stress which can be expressed in terms of (Jsand p as

(J == (1 - n)(Js - nmp (4)

and p == (1 - n)ps + nPr is the density of mixture Here m is a constant vector defined as mT == Ill 0 0 O to indicate that the pressure contributes to normal stresses only Also we have taken into account that the pressure has a compressive character while tensional stresses and strains are considered positive In further analysis we use the effective stress (J defined as

(J == (J + mp (5)

which is relevant for the constitutive relations of the solid Using the definition of relative velocity q as the volume of fluid passing in unit time through unit area of the mixture (also called the Darcy velocity) ie

q == n(vr - 0) (6)

we transform (3) to a form

k-I 0 Prmiddot 0 - Vp + Prb - q - Pro - -q == (7) n

The next fundamental equation is the constitutive relation of the solid

E((J == C e - e ) (8)p

where CE is the elastic constitutive matrix of the solid skeleton e is total strainmiddot and e p is the deformation of the solid material due to pressure1

m (9)ep == - 3K P

Here Ks is the bulk modulus of the solid grains Now we write the continuity equation for the fluid which takes into account the compressshy

ibilities of the solid and fluid as well as the elastic constitutive law for the solid skeleton I

Now we c0nsider electrokinetic coupling The basic relations which encompasses both Ohms and Darcys laws as special cases are

where cent is the electrical potential k ll is the (short-circuit) Darcy hydraulic permeability k 22 is the electrical conductivity and k l2 and k21 are electrokinetic coupling coefficients that are equal by Onsager reciprocity according to References 7 and 8 Next we generalize the equation of balance of linear momentum for the fluid (7) to include electrokinetic coupling The resistance force Fw

for the fluid follows from the first equation of system (11)

Fw == -k~q +k~kI2Vcent (12)

and the equation of balance of linear momentum (8) now changes to

t7 b k- I k-Ik t7~ bullbull Prmiddot 0-vP+Pr - llq+ II 12 v lfJ-Pru --q== (13) n

Note that this equation corresponds to isotropic conditions of the solid skeleton and represents a form of the generalized Darcy law

Finally we can use the continuity equation for the current density in the form

VTj == 0 (14)

Substituting the current density j from the second equation of system (11) into (14) we obtain

T Tk21 V Vp - Vcent == 0 (15)k22V

3 DERIVATION OF FINITE ELEMENT EQUATIONS

In this Section we transform the fundalnental relations of Section 2 into the finite element equations We present derivations assuming small displacements of solid and elastic material These equations can be generalized to large displacements of the solid and inelastic deformation

12of the material by a standard procedure9shy

First by employing the principle of virtual work and supposing that the material is elastic from equation (4) we obtain the following equation

[beTCEe dV+ [beT(~~ - m)p dV + [bUTpii dV + [bUTPrq dV

= [bUTpb dV +i buTt dA (16)

Next in the case of electrokinetic coupling we multiply equation (13) by the interpolation matrix H~ for the relative velocity of fluid q and integrate over the finite element volume according to the Galerkin method The resulting equation is

T -I T T T- lv H qVp dV - k ll k 12 lv H qV4J dV + lv HqPrb dV - k ll lv Hqq dV

- rH T Prii dV - rH T Pr it dV = 0 (17)Jv q Jv q n

385 A FINITE ELEMENT SOLUTION PROCEDURE

Further we multiply the continuity equation (10) by the interpolation matrix U~ for pressure (which is vector-column) and obtain

E

1UTVT dV 1HT ( T - mTC ) dV 1U T(1 - n - - mTcEm) dV == 0 (18) p q + p m 3K e + p K + K 9K2 P

V V s V s f s

Finally we multiply the continuity equation (10) by the interpolation matrix U~ for electrical potential and integrate over the volume V

T T T T k 21 Jv H V Vp dV - k 22 Jv H V V4J dV = 0 (19)

Note that (usually) in practical applications interpolation functions for displacements H u and for relative velocities H q are quadratic while Up for pressure and Hltfgt for electrical potential are linear

We employ the standard procedure of integration over the element volume in equations (16)shy(19) and use the Gauss theorem The resulting FE system of equations is

In these expressions n is the normal vector to the boundary and B is the strain-displacement transformation matrix

As we can see from (20) the nodal point variables are displacements of solid relative velocities q pressures p and electrical potential lJ Boundary conditions include general boundary conditions for the solid relative velocities SUrface pressures current densities and electric potential

The system of equations (20) is non-symmetrical in general In the case when inertial forces are neglected the system becomes symmetric A standard Newmark method can be employed for time integration of the system (20) as it is done in Reference 8 We note that in the case of no electrokinetic coupling we drop-out terms corresponding to the electric potential ~

4 NUMERICAL EXAMPLES

We give two typical examples from biomechanics and demonstrate that our results agree with those available in the cited references 13- IS

41 Example 1 One-dimensional electrokinetic transduction

We consider electrokinetic transduction in cartilage in one dimension Two transductions are analysed (i) mechanical-to-electrical and (ii) electrical-to-mechanical We impose on the top

1 displacement with amplitude Uo which elicits stress and electrokinetic response and 2 current density with amplitude Jowhich generates a mechanical response

Both the prescribed displacement and the current density have an oscillatory character as given in Figure l(a)

The cartilage is constrained at the bottom surface z == 0 by noflow no-displacement and impermeability with respect to currency also pressure p == 0 at z == h

where Jo is the amplitude A is the wavelength and w is the angular frequency (m == 2nf f == frequency) The medium is infinite in the x-direction and is subjected to plane strain conditions in the z-direction We use the length 1==3 mm in the analysis which for given A== 2 mm provides repetition of the solution in the x-direction Boundary conditions are shown in Figure 2(a) top and bottom surfaces have zero displacements and no normal fluid flow current density flux is zero through the bottom surface

We have solved this example by using appropriate tilne steps depending on frequency I Solutions repeat after time period T == 11 Results are shown in Figures 2(b)-(e) They agree with those in Reference 8 obtained analytically and by experimental investigation

5 CONCLUSIONS

We have presented a general numerical procedure for FE analysis of coupled problems which include deformation of a porous medium with flow of compressible fluid and with electrokinetic coupling The generalized Darcy law is extended to include electrokinetic coupling The formulation also takes into account inertial forces of solid and fluid

Generalized nodal point variables are displacements of solid fluid pressure relative fluid velocity and electric potential With these nodal point variables all boundary conditions appearing in practice can be employed including given current density

The linear formulation which has a general form can be extended to geometrically and materially non-linear problems Therefore we have presented a methodology applicable to general problems in geomechanics and biomechanics We have employed the implicit time integration with equilibrium iteration in time step and hence selection of time~step size is dictated by the excitation characteristics of the system Although we have a non-symmetric system of equations with more variables per node than in other formulations in the cited refershyences (for example the u-p formulation) the presented approach offers generality and suitability for applications

We have implemented the presented algorithm into our general-purpose FE package PAK as a special module PAK_pI6 so that 2D and 3D practical problems in geomechanics and bioshymechanics can be analysed Numerical examples show the accuracy of our solutions since the results agree very well with those obtained with other FE formulations and other methods

We present here the fundamental equations supposing first that displacements of the solid are small which represent the basis for the FE formulation in Section 3 The assumptions are that the solid is linear elastic with compressible material of the skeleton and that the fluid is comshypressible Also we consider the dynamic problem and take into account inertial forces of the solid and the fluid We first present all governing equations in the case when there is no electroshykinetic coupling and then give corrections due to this effect

The balance equation of the solid in the case of no electric coupling can be written in the form

(1 - n)LT (Js + (1 - n)psb + k-1nq - (1 - n)psii == 0 (1)

where (Js is stress in the solid phase n is porosity k is the permeability matrix Ps is the density of the solid b is the body force per unit mass q is the relative velocity of the fluid ii is the acceleration of the solid material and LT is the differential operator

The balance equation of the fluid phase (no electrokinetic coupling) is

-nVp + nprb - k-1nq - nprvr == 0 (2)

where p is the pore fluid pressure Pr is the density of the fluid and vr is the acceleration of the fluid This equation is also known as the generalized Darcy law Both equilibrium equations are written per unit volume of the mixture Combining equations (1) and (2) we obtain

L T

(J + pb - pii - PrCt == 0 (3)

where (J is the total stress which can be expressed in terms of (Jsand p as

(J == (1 - n)(Js - nmp (4)

and p == (1 - n)ps + nPr is the density of mixture Here m is a constant vector defined as mT == Ill 0 0 O to indicate that the pressure contributes to normal stresses only Also we have taken into account that the pressure has a compressive character while tensional stresses and strains are considered positive In further analysis we use the effective stress (J defined as

(J == (J + mp (5)

which is relevant for the constitutive relations of the solid Using the definition of relative velocity q as the volume of fluid passing in unit time through unit area of the mixture (also called the Darcy velocity) ie

q == n(vr - 0) (6)

we transform (3) to a form

k-I 0 Prmiddot 0 - Vp + Prb - q - Pro - -q == (7) n

The next fundamental equation is the constitutive relation of the solid

E((J == C e - e ) (8)p

where CE is the elastic constitutive matrix of the solid skeleton e is total strainmiddot and e p is the deformation of the solid material due to pressure1

m (9)ep == - 3K P

Here Ks is the bulk modulus of the solid grains Now we write the continuity equation for the fluid which takes into account the compressshy

ibilities of the solid and fluid as well as the elastic constitutive law for the solid skeleton I

where cent is the electrical potential k ll is the (short-circuit) Darcy hydraulic permeability k 22 is the electrical conductivity and k l2 and k21 are electrokinetic coupling coefficients that are equal by Onsager reciprocity according to References 7 and 8 Next we generalize the equation of balance of linear momentum for the fluid (7) to include electrokinetic coupling The resistance force Fw

for the fluid follows from the first equation of system (11)

Fw == -k~q +k~kI2Vcent (12)

and the equation of balance of linear momentum (8) now changes to

t7 b k- I k-Ik t7~ bullbull Prmiddot 0-vP+Pr - llq+ II 12 v lfJ-Pru --q== (13) n

Note that this equation corresponds to isotropic conditions of the solid skeleton and represents a form of the generalized Darcy law

Finally we can use the continuity equation for the current density in the form

VTj == 0 (14)

Substituting the current density j from the second equation of system (11) into (14) we obtain

T Tk21 V Vp - Vcent == 0 (15)k22V

3 DERIVATION OF FINITE ELEMENT EQUATIONS

In this Section we transform the fundalnental relations of Section 2 into the finite element equations We present derivations assuming small displacements of solid and elastic material These equations can be generalized to large displacements of the solid and inelastic deformation

12of the material by a standard procedure9shy

First by employing the principle of virtual work and supposing that the material is elastic from equation (4) we obtain the following equation

[beTCEe dV+ [beT(~~ - m)p dV + [bUTpii dV + [bUTPrq dV

= [bUTpb dV +i buTt dA (16)

Next in the case of electrokinetic coupling we multiply equation (13) by the interpolation matrix H~ for the relative velocity of fluid q and integrate over the finite element volume according to the Galerkin method The resulting equation is

T -I T T T- lv H qVp dV - k ll k 12 lv H qV4J dV + lv HqPrb dV - k ll lv Hqq dV

Further we multiply the continuity equation (10) by the interpolation matrix U~ for pressure (which is vector-column) and obtain

E

V V s V s f s

Finally we multiply the continuity equation (10) by the interpolation matrix U~ for electrical potential and integrate over the volume V

T T T T k 21 Jv H V Vp dV - k 22 Jv H V V4J dV = 0 (19)

Note that (usually) in practical applications interpolation functions for displacements H u and for relative velocities H q are quadratic while Up for pressure and Hltfgt for electrical potential are linear

We employ the standard procedure of integration over the element volume in equations (16)shy(19) and use the Gauss theorem The resulting FE system of equations is

In these expressions n is the normal vector to the boundary and B is the strain-displacement transformation matrix

As we can see from (20) the nodal point variables are displacements of solid relative velocities q pressures p and electrical potential lJ Boundary conditions include general boundary conditions for the solid relative velocities SUrface pressures current densities and electric potential

The system of equations (20) is non-symmetrical in general In the case when inertial forces are neglected the system becomes symmetric A standard Newmark method can be employed for time integration of the system (20) as it is done in Reference 8 We note that in the case of no electrokinetic coupling we drop-out terms corresponding to the electric potential ~

4 NUMERICAL EXAMPLES

Both the prescribed displacement and the current density have an oscillatory character as given in Figure l(a)

The cartilage is constrained at the bottom surface z == 0 by noflow no-displacement and impermeability with respect to currency also pressure p == 0 at z == h

where Jo is the amplitude A is the wavelength and w is the angular frequency (m == 2nf f == frequency) The medium is infinite in the x-direction and is subjected to plane strain conditions in the z-direction We use the length 1==3 mm in the analysis which for given A== 2 mm provides repetition of the solution in the x-direction Boundary conditions are shown in Figure 2(a) top and bottom surfaces have zero displacements and no normal fluid flow current density flux is zero through the bottom surface

We have solved this example by using appropriate tilne steps depending on frequency I Solutions repeat after time period T == 11 Results are shown in Figures 2(b)-(e) They agree with those in Reference 8 obtained analytically and by experimental investigation

Generalized nodal point variables are displacements of solid fluid pressure relative fluid velocity and electric potential With these nodal point variables all boundary conditions appearing in practice can be employed including given current density

The linear formulation which has a general form can be extended to geometrically and materially non-linear problems Therefore we have presented a methodology applicable to general problems in geomechanics and biomechanics We have employed the implicit time integration with equilibrium iteration in time step and hence selection of time~step size is dictated by the excitation characteristics of the system Although we have a non-symmetric system of equations with more variables per node than in other formulations in the cited refershyences (for example the u-p formulation) the presented approach offers generality and suitability for applications

We have implemented the presented algorithm into our general-purpose FE package PAK as a special module PAK_pI6 so that 2D and 3D practical problems in geomechanics and bioshymechanics can be analysed Numerical examples show the accuracy of our solutions since the results agree very well with those obtained with other FE formulations and other methods

In this Section we transform the fundalnental relations of Section 2 into the finite element equations We present derivations assuming small displacements of solid and elastic material These equations can be generalized to large displacements of the solid and inelastic deformation

Finally we multiply the continuity equation (10) by the interpolation matrix U~ for electrical potential and integrate over the volume V

T T T T k 21 Jv H V Vp dV - k 22 Jv H V V4J dV = 0 (19)

Note that (usually) in practical applications interpolation functions for displacements H u and for relative velocities H q are quadratic while Up for pressure and Hltfgt for electrical potential are linear

We employ the standard procedure of integration over the element volume in equations (16)shy(19) and use the Gauss theorem The resulting FE system of equations is

As we can see from (20) the nodal point variables are displacements of solid relative velocities q pressures p and electrical potential lJ Boundary conditions include general boundary conditions for the solid relative velocities SUrface pressures current densities and electric potential

The system of equations (20) is non-symmetrical in general In the case when inertial forces are neglected the system becomes symmetric A standard Newmark method can be employed for time integration of the system (20) as it is done in Reference 8 We note that in the case of no electrokinetic coupling we drop-out terms corresponding to the electric potential ~

where Jo is the amplitude A is the wavelength and w is the angular frequency (m == 2nf f == frequency) The medium is infinite in the x-direction and is subjected to plane strain conditions in the z-direction We use the length 1==3 mm in the analysis which for given A== 2 mm provides repetition of the solution in the x-direction Boundary conditions are shown in Figure 2(a) top and bottom surfaces have zero displacements and no normal fluid flow current density flux is zero through the bottom surface

We have solved this example by using appropriate tilne steps depending on frequency I Solutions repeat after time period T == 11 Results are shown in Figures 2(b)-(e) They agree with those in Reference 8 obtained analytically and by experimental investigation

5 CONCLUSIONS

We have presented a general numerical procedure for FE analysis of coupled problems which include deformation of a porous medium with flow of compressible fluid and with electrokinetic coupling The generalized Darcy law is extended to include electrokinetic coupling The formulation also takes into account inertial forces of solid and fluid

Generalized nodal point variables are displacements of solid fluid pressure relative fluid velocity and electric potential With these nodal point variables all boundary conditions appearing in practice can be employed including given current density

The linear formulation which has a general form can be extended to geometrically and materially non-linear problems Therefore we have presented a methodology applicable to general problems in geomechanics and biomechanics We have employed the implicit time integration with equilibrium iteration in time step and hence selection of time~step size is dictated by the excitation characteristics of the system Although we have a non-symmetric system of equations with more variables per node than in other formulations in the cited refershyences (for example the u-p formulation) the presented approach offers generality and suitability for applications

We have implemented the presented algorithm into our general-purpose FE package PAK as a special module PAK_pI6 so that 2D and 3D practical problems in geomechanics and bioshymechanics can be analysed Numerical examples show the accuracy of our solutions since the results agree very well with those obtained with other FE formulations and other methods

where cent is the electrical potential k ll is the (short-circuit) Darcy hydraulic permeability k 22 is the electrical conductivity and k l2 and k21 are electrokinetic coupling coefficients that are equal by Onsager reciprocity according to References 7 and 8 Next we generalize the equation of balance of linear momentum for the fluid (7) to include electrokinetic coupling The resistance force Fw

for the fluid follows from the first equation of system (11)

Fw == -k~q +k~kI2Vcent (12)

and the equation of balance of linear momentum (8) now changes to

t7 b k- I k-Ik t7~ bullbull Prmiddot 0-vP+Pr - llq+ II 12 v lfJ-Pru --q== (13) n

Note that this equation corresponds to isotropic conditions of the solid skeleton and represents a form of the generalized Darcy law

Finally we can use the continuity equation for the current density in the form

VTj == 0 (14)

Substituting the current density j from the second equation of system (11) into (14) we obtain

T Tk21 V Vp - Vcent == 0 (15)k22V

3 DERIVATION OF FINITE ELEMENT EQUATIONS

In this Section we transform the fundalnental relations of Section 2 into the finite element equations We present derivations assuming small displacements of solid and elastic material These equations can be generalized to large displacements of the solid and inelastic deformation

12of the material by a standard procedure9shy

First by employing the principle of virtual work and supposing that the material is elastic from equation (4) we obtain the following equation

[beTCEe dV+ [beT(~~ - m)p dV + [bUTpii dV + [bUTPrq dV

= [bUTpb dV +i buTt dA (16)

Next in the case of electrokinetic coupling we multiply equation (13) by the interpolation matrix H~ for the relative velocity of fluid q and integrate over the finite element volume according to the Galerkin method The resulting equation is

T -I T T T- lv H qVp dV - k ll k 12 lv H qV4J dV + lv HqPrb dV - k ll lv Hqq dV

- rH T Prii dV - rH T Pr it dV = 0 (17)Jv q Jv q n

Commun Numer Meth Engng 14381-392 (1998) copy 1998 John Wiley amp Sons Ltd

385 A FINITE ELEMENT SOLUTION PROCEDURE

Further we multiply the continuity equation (10) by the interpolation matrix U~ for pressure (which is vector-column) and obtain

E

1UTVT dV 1HT ( T - mTC ) dV 1U T(1 - n - - mTcEm) dV == 0 (18) p q + p m 3K e + p K + K 9K2 P

V V s V s f s

Finally we multiply the continuity equation (10) by the interpolation matrix U~ for electrical potential and integrate over the volume V

T T T T k 21 Jv H V Vp dV - k 22 Jv H V V4J dV = 0 (19)

Note that (usually) in practical applications interpolation functions for displacements H u and for relative velocities H q are quadratic while Up for pressure and Hltfgt for electrical potential are linear

We employ the standard procedure of integration over the element volume in equations (16)shy(19) and use the Gauss theorem The resulting FE system of equations is

In these expressions n is the normal vector to the boundary and B is the strain-displacement transformation matrix

As we can see from (20) the nodal point variables are displacements of solid relative velocities q pressures p and electrical potential lJ Boundary conditions include general boundary conditions for the solid relative velocities SUrface pressures current densities and electric potential

The system of equations (20) is non-symmetrical in general In the case when inertial forces are neglected the system becomes symmetric A standard Newmark method can be employed for time integration of the system (20) as it is done in Reference 8 We note that in the case of no electrokinetic coupling we drop-out terms corresponding to the electric potential ~

4 NUMERICAL EXAMPLES

We give two typical examples from biomechanics and demonstrate that our results agree with those available in the cited references 13- IS

41 Example 1 One-dimensional electrokinetic transduction

We consider electrokinetic transduction in cartilage in one dimension Two transductions are analysed (i) mechanical-to-electrical and (ii) electrical-to-mechanical We impose on the top

1 displacement with amplitude Uo which elicits stress and electrokinetic response and 2 current density with amplitude Jowhich generates a mechanical response

Both the prescribed displacement and the current density have an oscillatory character as given in Figure l(a)

The cartilage is constrained at the bottom surface z == 0 by noflow no-displacement and impermeability with respect to currency also pressure p == 0 at z == h

Further we multiply the continuity equation (10) by the interpolation matrix U~ for pressure (which is vector-column) and obtain

Finally we multiply the continuity equation (10) by the interpolation matrix U~ for electrical potential and integrate over the volume V

T T T T k 21 Jv H V Vp dV - k 22 Jv H V V4J dV = 0 (19)

Note that (usually) in practical applications interpolation functions for displacements H u and for relative velocities H q are quadratic while Up for pressure and Hltfgt for electrical potential are linear

We employ the standard procedure of integration over the element volume in equations (16)shy(19) and use the Gauss theorem The resulting FE system of equations is

As we can see from (20) the nodal point variables are displacements of solid relative velocities q pressures p and electrical potential lJ Boundary conditions include general boundary conditions for the solid relative velocities SUrface pressures current densities and electric potential

The system of equations (20) is non-symmetrical in general In the case when inertial forces are neglected the system becomes symmetric A standard Newmark method can be employed for time integration of the system (20) as it is done in Reference 8 We note that in the case of no electrokinetic coupling we drop-out terms corresponding to the electric potential ~

4 NUMERICAL EXAMPLES

We give two typical examples from biomechanics and demonstrate that our results agree with those available in the cited references 13- IS

41 Example 1 One-dimensional electrokinetic transduction

We consider electrokinetic transduction in cartilage in one dimension Two transductions are analysed (i) mechanical-to-electrical and (ii) electrical-to-mechanical We impose on the top

1 displacement with amplitude Uo which elicits stress and electrokinetic response and 2 current density with amplitude Jowhich generates a mechanical response

Both the prescribed displacement and the current density have an oscillatory character as given in Figure l(a)

The cartilage is constrained at the bottom surface z == 0 by noflow no-displacement and impermeability with respect to currency also pressure p == 0 at z == h

Displacements and fluid velocities in the cartilage have an oscillatory character In Figures I(b) (c) and (d) we show distributions along the cartilage depth for various frequencies of excitation They are practically the same as those reported in Reference 15 obtained analytically and experimentally

where Jo is the amplitude A is the wavelength and w is the angular frequency (m == 2nf f == frequency) The medium is infinite in the x-direction and is subjected to plane strain conditions in the z-direction We use the length 1==3 mm in the analysis which for given A== 2 mm provides repetition of the solution in the x-direction Boundary conditions are shown in Figure 2(a) top and bottom surfaces have zero displacements and no normal fluid flow current density flux is zero through the bottom surface

We have solved this example by using appropriate tilne steps depending on frequency I Solutions repeat after time period T == 11 Results are shown in Figures 2(b)-(e) They agree with those in Reference 8 obtained analytically and by experimental investigation

5 CONCLUSIONS

We have presented a general numerical procedure for FE analysis of coupled problems which include deformation of a porous medium with flow of compressible fluid and with electrokinetic coupling The generalized Darcy law is extended to include electrokinetic coupling The formulation also takes into account inertial forces of solid and fluid

Generalized nodal point variables are displacements of solid fluid pressure relative fluid velocity and electric potential With these nodal point variables all boundary conditions appearing in practice can be employed including given current density

The linear formulation which has a general form can be extended to geometrically and materially non-linear problems Therefore we have presented a methodology applicable to general problems in geomechanics and biomechanics We have employed the implicit time integration with equilibrium iteration in time step and hence selection of time~step size is dictated by the excitation characteristics of the system Although we have a non-symmetric system of equations with more variables per node than in other formulations in the cited refershyences (for example the u-p formulation) the presented approach offers generality and suitability for applications

We have implemented the presented algorithm into our general-purpose FE package PAK as a special module PAK_pI6 so that 2D and 3D practical problems in geomechanics and bioshymechanics can be analysed Numerical examples show the accuracy of our solutions since the results agree very well with those obtained with other FE formulations and other methods

where Jo is the amplitude A is the wavelength and w is the angular frequency (m == 2nf f == frequency) The medium is infinite in the x-direction and is subjected to plane strain conditions in the z-direction We use the length 1==3 mm in the analysis which for given A== 2 mm provides repetition of the solution in the x-direction Boundary conditions are shown in Figure 2(a) top and bottom surfaces have zero displacements and no normal fluid flow current density flux is zero through the bottom surface

We have solved this example by using appropriate tilne steps depending on frequency I Solutions repeat after time period T == 11 Results are shown in Figures 2(b)-(e) They agree with those in Reference 8 obtained analytically and by experimental investigation

5 CONCLUSIONS

We have presented a general numerical procedure for FE analysis of coupled problems which include deformation of a porous medium with flow of compressible fluid and with electrokinetic coupling The generalized Darcy law is extended to include electrokinetic coupling The formulation also takes into account inertial forces of solid and fluid

Generalized nodal point variables are displacements of solid fluid pressure relative fluid velocity and electric potential With these nodal point variables all boundary conditions appearing in practice can be employed including given current density

The linear formulation which has a general form can be extended to geometrically and materially non-linear problems Therefore we have presented a methodology applicable to general problems in geomechanics and biomechanics We have employed the implicit time integration with equilibrium iteration in time step and hence selection of time~step size is dictated by the excitation characteristics of the system Although we have a non-symmetric system of equations with more variables per node than in other formulations in the cited refershyences (for example the u-p formulation) the presented approach offers generality and suitability for applications

We have implemented the presented algorithm into our general-purpose FE package PAK as a special module PAK_pI6 so that 2D and 3D practical problems in geomechanics and bioshymechanics can be analysed Numerical examples show the accuracy of our solutions since the results agree very well with those obtained with other FE formulations and other methods

Generalized nodal point variables are displacements of solid fluid pressure relative fluid velocity and electric potential With these nodal point variables all boundary conditions appearing in practice can be employed including given current density

The linear formulation which has a general form can be extended to geometrically and materially non-linear problems Therefore we have presented a methodology applicable to general problems in geomechanics and biomechanics We have employed the implicit time integration with equilibrium iteration in time step and hence selection of time~step size is dictated by the excitation characteristics of the system Although we have a non-symmetric system of equations with more variables per node than in other formulations in the cited refershyences (for example the u-p formulation) the presented approach offers generality and suitability for applications

We have implemented the presented algorithm into our general-purpose FE package PAK as a special module PAK_pI6 so that 2D and 3D practical problems in geomechanics and bioshymechanics can be analysed Numerical examples show the accuracy of our solutions since the results agree very well with those obtained with other FE formulations and other methods
