Abstract

In this paper the field equations governing the dynamic response of a fluid-saturated elastic porous medium are analyzed and built up for the study of quasi-static and dynamical problems like the consolidation problem and wave propagation. The two constituents are assumed to be incompressible. A numerical solution is derived by means of the standard Galerkin procedure and the finite element method.
