Direct numerical simulation and analysis of saturated deformable porous media

Existing numerical techniques for modeling saturated deformable porous media are based on homogenization techniques and thus are incapable of performing micro-mechanical investigations, such as the effect of micro-structure on the deformational characteristics of the media. In this research work, a...
