Fig. 8.3 Cartoon of the
loading ( 8.11 ) for a cube of
material (only a cross-section
is visible). Observe that the
loadings ( 8.10 ) and ( 8.11 )
may be superposed to produce
the total loading ( 8.9 ),
illustrated in Fig. 8.1 . This
loading consists of a surface
traction that is the sum of
the actual surface traction t

Figures 8.1 , 8.2a , and 8.3 correspond to the loadings ( 8.9 ), ( 8.10 ), and ( 8.11 )
respectively, and the strains E ð 8 : 9 Þ , E ð 8 : 10 Þ , and E ð 8 : 11 Þ have the same respective
correspondence. It is easy to see that ( 8.14 ) may be rewritten as

¼ E ð 8 : 9 Þ is the total strain. Comparing this result with ( 8.1 ) it may be seen
that the Biot effective stress coefficient tensor A is given by ( 8.3 ). Note that this
proof is based on superposition that is a characteristic of linear systems and thus
applies to all the considerations of linear compressible poroelasticity, isotropic or
anisotropic, but fails when the deformations are no longer infinitesimal.

Problems
8.2.1. Show that the representation ( 8.4 ) for A in the case when both C d and S d are
transversely isotropic with respect to a common axis reduces to ( 8.5 ) when
both C d and S d are isotropic.
8.2.2. Derive the expressions ( 8.8 ) for K d and G d in terms of the volume fraction
f
,
matrix bulk and shear moduli, K m and G m , and Poisson's ratio
m from the
n
formulas (7.20).
