Abstract

A fully coupled dynamic model is presented in this paper by considering the effect of matric suction, varying parameters in connection with saturation, stratification and transverse isotropy. This model can describe separate flows of two immiscible fluids in layered transversely isotropic unsaturated poroelastic media subjected to harmonically dynamic loads. The ordinary differential matrix equations of this model are derived based on Hankel integral transform and a series of algebraic manipulations. Then the final solution is obtained by conducting the extended precise integration method, and further verified against the existing solution. Numerical examples are carried out to demonstrate the effects of saturation, transversely isotropic parameters, angular frequency and soil thickness on dynamic behavior of unsaturated porous media.
