where H A is the aggregate equilibrium modulus,
is strain, that is expressed through

where v f and v s
t are the velocities of fluid and solid relative to a fixed representa-
tive element volume (REV) in the frame of reference associated with the fixed lower
plate [10]. Note, that ε z
=
u z
is equal to the strain applied to the upper plate,
ε ( t ) .
z
Strains in the matrix do not depend on z . Hence u z
=

⋅ ε
( t ) . Also the z -components
=

of solid and fluid velocities are equal: v z f
. Combining the expressions in

Making use of Equation (2-6), we can rewrite Equation (1) as differential equation for
