A Computational Approach to Coupled Poroelastic Media Problems
Anh‐Tu Vuong · 2016
In this thesis, a computational approach to saturated porous media problems is presented. Therein, large deformations in two- and three-dimensional settings including the full coupling of the two phases are considered. The influence of porosity variations on the convergence behavior of the numerical solution scheme is analyzed. The second major part of this thesis is dedicated to the extension of the computational framework to treat multi-field problems, with special interest in applications to biomechanics.
