Two‐phase finite element procedures for dynamic analysis of saturated porous media

Abstract

A three‐dimensional dynamic analysis program for saturated porous‐rocks and soils (MPDAP‐3D) is developed in this study. The theoretical formulations incorporated in the proposed computer program are the extension of Biot’s two‐phase theory to non‐linear region. The generalized Hoek and Brown model is used to represent the skeleton constitutive relation. A three‐dimensional elasto‐plastic matrix for the generalized Hoek and Brown model is derived by extending two‐dimensional formulation. Numerical study for typical verification problems is carried out to show the validation of the computational algorithms of the computer program.
