A virtual work derivation of the Biot consolidation finite element formulation
Abstract
A derivation for the finite element equations of consolidation by the principle of virtual work and virtual complementary work is presented. This provides a simple alternative to derivation by variational principles or the Laplace transform. In the final part of the paper the equations are rearranged into a form suitable for time stepping for non‐linear applications.
