Abstract:
In this paper we propose a computational algroithm for a mathematical model of thermoporoelastic medium with damage. The system of equations consits of mass, momentum and energy conservation laws. Damage of the medium is modeled within the framework of the continuum damage theory. The computational algorithm is based on the finite element method. The proposed algorithm is implemented as the software application. Validation of the algorithm was carried out on a number of tests which have an analytical solution. We present results of some simulation cases with industrial settings.
Keywords:thermoporoelasticity, damage, finite element method, Taylor–Hood elements.
