Abstract
The purpose of this investigation is providing a method to study the effect of porosity in a porothermoelastic medium by the finite element technique. The formulations are applied under Green-Naghdi model without energy dissipations. One-dimensional application for a poroelastic half-space is considered. Due to the complex basic equations, the finite element method (FEM) has been adopted to solve this problem. The numerical outcomes for displacements, temperatures and the stress components are represented graphically for the solid and the fluid.
