3.4.7.1 Virtual Work and Linearization
The contribution to due to chemical reactions is given by , where The linearization of along a solid displacement increment is where Currently, is assumed to be independent of in FEBio; it follows that the linearization along the effective fluid pressure increment is Finally, the linearization along a concentration increment is
The discretized form of these expressions is given by where Similarly, where Then, where Finally, where
