The accurate modeling of the response of the fluid-saturated porous medium to external time-varying loading is critical for numerous practical applications, particularly in the area of hydrogeology, geomechanics, and water resources engineering.  Because the application of mechanical loading on the fluid-bearing porous medium generates a strong stress-flow ... ]]> http://proj.ncku.edu.tw/research/articles/e/20111230/2.html Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:01 GMT Article Digest
