Poroelastic materials are commonly found in biological systems, such as articulating cartilage, and the ability to predict their biphasic behaviour is a key step understanding of joint health development biomimetic devices. Here, fully coupled three dimensional finite element study presented demonstrate permeability dependent load carrying capacity fluid pressure time-varying poroelastic system...

A variant of the Biot–Johnson model of a poroelastic material is investigated to see if the viscosity of the interstitial fluid is significant in the ultrasound insonification of non-defatted cancellous bone. The equations of motion are derived using a Lagrangian formulation. Numerical experiments are performed on various bone samples. It is shown that the viscosity of the interstitial fluid do...

a) Develop the nonlinear acoustic theory of poroelastic media using Biot’s semilinear model and physical model of contact nonlinearity, b) Measure the nonlinear parameter of sediments in laboratory tank, c) Study the effect of sediment parameters (grain size distribution, free gas content, porosity) on nonlinear acoustic properties of the sediments, d) Evaluate the nonlinear absorption and dist...
