【 摘 要 】

In this paper, we deal with the numerical approximation of some porous-thermoelastic problems. Since the inertial effects are assumed to be negligible, the resulting motion equations are quasistatic. Then, by using the finite element method and the implicit Euler scheme, a fully discrete approximation is introduced. We prove a discrete stability property and a main error estimates result, from which we conclude the linear convergence under appropriate regularity conditions on the continuous solution. Finally, several numerical simulations are shown to demonstrate the accuracy of the approximation, the behavior of the solution and the decay of the discrete energy.
