Sudden Pressurization of a Spherical Cavity in a Poroelastic Medium

الملخص EN

Governing equations of poroelastodynamics in time and frequency domain are derived.

The continuity equation complements the momentum balance equations.

After reduction for spherical symmetry (geometry and loading), the governing equations in frequency domain are solved by introducing wave potentials.

The wave propagation velocities are obtained as the real parts of the characteristic equation of the coupled ODE system.

Time domain solution for Dirac type boundary pressure is obtained through numerical inversion of transformed solutions.

The results are compared to the solution in classical elasticity theory found in the literature.
