Modelling flow-driven pore closure of weakening poroelastic media
Poroelastic materials, such as polymer tissue scaffolds, porous rocks, and hydrogels, can weaken due to interactions between the solid skeleton and chemical species in the interstitial fluid. We develop a mathematical model for a poroelastic material to provide fundamental mechanistic insight into how weakening the mat...
