This paper deals with the modeling of guided waves propagation in in vivo cortical long bone, which is known to be anisotropic medium with functionally graded porosity. The bone is modeled as an anisotropic poroelastic material by using Biot's theory formulated in high frequency domain. A hybrid spectral/finite element formulation has been developed to find the time-domain solution of ultrasonic waves propagating in a poroelastic plate immersed in two fluid halfspaces. The numerical technique is based on a combined Laplace-Fourier transform, which allows to obtain a reduced dimension problem in the frequency-wavenumber domain. In the spectral domain, as radiation conditions representing infinite fluid halfspaces may be exactly introduced, only the heterogeneous solid layer needs to be analyzed by using finite element method. Several numerical tests are presented showing very good performance of the proposed procedure. A preliminary study on the first arrived signal velocities computed by using equivalent elastic and poroelastic models will be presented.

A continuum mixture theory is formulated for large deformations, thermal effects, phase interactions, and degradation of soft biologic tissues suitable at high pressures and low to very high strain rates. Tissues consist of one or more solid and fluid phases and can demonstrate nonlinear anisotropic elastic, viscoelastic, thermoelastic, and poroelastic physics. Under extreme deformations or shock loading, tissues may fracture, tear, or rupture.

There is a significant opportunity to expand the understanding of subcutaneous injection mechanics with an aim to increase injectable volume while controlling tissue strain and associated subject pain. Computational modeling can evaluate the mechanics of subcutaneous injections as a supplement to experimental, animal and clinical studies. The objectives of this study are to (1) develop a computational model for subcutaneous injection in tissue, (2) investigate the influence anisotropic tissue permeability has on bolus formation, and (3) explore the effects that injection flow rate and viscosity have on injection flow and tissue strain.

Hydraulic stimulation is a critical process for increasing the permeability of fractured geothermal reservoirs. This technique relies on coupled hydromechanical processes induced through pressurized fluid injection into the rock formation. The injection of fluids causes poromechanical stress changes that can lead to fracture slip and shear dilation, as well as tensile fracture opening and propagation, so-called mixed-mechanism stimulation.

In this paper, a two-dimensional (2D) thermo-hydro-mechanical dynamic (THMD) coupling analysis in the presence of a half-space medium is studied using Ezzat's fractional order generalized theory of thermoelasticity. Using normal mode analysis (NMA), the influence of the anisotropy of the thermal conduction coefficient, fractional derivatives, and frequency on the THMD response of anisotropy, fully saturated, and poroelastic subgrade is then analyzed with a time-harmonic load including mechanical load and thermal source subjected to the surface. The general relationships among the dimensionless physical variables such as the vertical displacement, excess pore water pressure, vertical stress, and temperature distribution are graphically illustrated.

We propose a variational multiscale method stabilization of a linear finite element method for nonlinear poroelasticity. Our approach is suitable for the implicit time integration of poroelastic formulations in which the solid skeleton is anisotropic and incompressible. A detailed numerical methodology is presented for a monolithic formulation that includes both structural dynamics and Darcy flow.
