Comparison of the shear stress σxy (a), and fluid pressure p (b) at several depths at t=500s predicted by the 3D biphasic contact finite element model and the 2D noncontact model of Spilker et al. (Spilker et al., 1992). Distribution of axial stress (c, in kPa) at t=250s on the deformed geometry. Continuity of axial stress (d) between the two bodies along the contact boundary at t=250s.
