Large Strain Analysis of 3-D Viscoelastic Swelling of Charged Tissues and Gels

  • Conference paper
IUTAM Symposium on Physicochemical and Electromechanical Interactions in Porous Media

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications ((SMIA,volume 125))

Abstract

Materials like soft biological tissues undergo large viscoelastic deformations during the swelling process. Following this, it is the goal of this contribution to merge the advances of finite viscoelasticity laws and the state of the art in electrochemical swelling theories within a well-founded multiphasic concept. The numerical treatment is carried out fully 3-d in the framework of the FEM.
