Can microscopic coefficients always be derived from macroscopic coefficient (biot effective coefficient, skempton coefficient)?
Submitted by XiaogaiLi on Mon, 2010-11-29 18:54.Can microscopic coefficients always be derived from macroscopic coefficient?
To be more specific,
alpha: Biot-Willis coefficient, Skempton coefficient
These two parameters are derived from the macroscopic level which reflects the response of a porous material as a whole, without explicitly taking into account the individual contribution of its solid and fluid constituents.
From microscopic level, there are parameters (or bulk modulus) such as Ks (solid grain bulk modulus), Kf (fluid bulk modulus), and porosity.
How to derive from poroelastic 3D equations to 1D Terzaghi equation?
Submitted by XiaogaiLi on Wed, 2010-06-30 11:15.Hi!
In the terzaghi equation, there is a constant M (some books call is elastic oedemetric coefficient).
Since the terzaghi equation is a special case for the general 3D biot equations under oedemetric testboundary conditions, does any book or material explain the derivation?
If I want to mode the terzaghi problem using 3D model in FE program, the M is known, then how to get thecorresponding values of young's modulus and poisson's ratio in order to give the same response from the 3D model?
Thanks for your attention. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Submitted by XiaogaiLi on Thu, 2010-02-25 14:00.Hi Everyone,
I have a general question about dynamic strcture problem,
I read from some books that "spatial resolution of high-frequency modes typically is poor by using the conventional finite element spatial domain discretization"?
Could someone explain more on this? Does it because the element usually is not fine enough to capture the high frequency response or...?
Thanks a lot!
BR,
Li

WhatDifference:same stress-strain curve for linear elastic material with nonlinear young's modulus and hyperelastic material
Submitted by XiaogaiLi on Fri, 2009-04-03 14:31.
Hi everyone,
Now I am trying to implement Ogden model in Comsol Multiphysics, but I had some problem.
Then I realized that in Comsol, it's possible to implement a nonlinear young's modulus.
But I am a little confused.
If you have a nonlinear Young's modulus, in the stress-strain curve, E is the tangent of this curve.
For hyperelastic material, let's say Ogden material. It's usually a nonlinear stress-strain curve as well.
My problem is, even if you can get some function for E young's modulus for the linear elastic material, and this stress-strain curve can be fitted to Ogden stress-strain curve in order to get the same shape of curve.
