We describe a straightforward way to determine the poroelastic diffusion coefficient of hydrogel particle by first indenting itviaswelling in granular packing, and then monitoring how its indented shape relaxes after it is removed.

Metamaterials with microscale architectures, e.g., microlattices, can exhibit extreme quasi-static mechanical response and tailorable acoustic properties. When coupled pressure waves in surrounding fluid, the dynamic behavior of microlattices long wavelength limit be explained context Biot’s theory poroelasticity. In this work, we exploit elastoacoustic wave propagation within 3D-printed polyme...

The report presents the development of the time-boundary element methodology and a description of the related software based on a stepped method of numerical inversion of the integral Laplace transform in combination with a family of Runge-Kutta methods for analyzing 3-D mixed initial boundary-value problems of the dynamics of inhomogeneous elastic and poro-elastic bodies. The results of the nu...

We present Defmod, an open source (linear) finite element code that enables us to efficiently model the crustal deformation due to (quasi-)static and dynamic loadings, poroelastic flow, viscoelastic flow and frictional fault slip. Ali (2015) provides the original code introducing an implicit solver for (quasi-)static problem, and an explicit solver for dynamic problem. The fault constraint is i...
