From the elastic energy contained in a displacement based porous material the general form of the stiffness and mass matrices are obtained. If both fields can be expanded with equal order polynomials the general form is further simplified and it is shown that the coupling stiffness reduces to the one arising to compute volume changes in an elastic médium. A plañe beam and a four node tetrahedron are developed. To avoid spurious rotational modes appearance in the tetrahedron fluid a penalty formulation is used. The effect of the penalty factor in matrix conditioning is analysed. Elements dynamic behaviour is compared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
