Abstract

Solving dynamic problems for fluid saturated porous media at large deformation regime is an interesting but complex issue. An implicit time integration scheme is herein developed within the framework of the u–w (solid displacement–relative fluid displacement) formulation for the Biot’s equations. In particular, liquid water saturated porous media is considered and the linearization of the linear momentum equations taking into account all the inertia terms for both solid and fluid phases is for the first time presented. The spatial discretization is carried out through a meshfree method, in which the shape functions are based on the principle of local maximum entropy LME. The current methodology is firstly validated with the dynamic consolidation of a soil column and the plastic shear band formulation of a square domain loaded by a rigid footing. The feasibility of this new numerical approach for solving large deformation dynamic problems is finally demonstrated through the application to an embankment problem subjected to an earthquake.
