Verification of the three-zone BEM model in the case νECM = νPCM = νCell = 0.2 and EECM = EPCM = ECell = 2.0kPa by comparison to known analytical solutions from linear elasticity theory. Deformed displacement profiles for the BEM model (circles) are compared to each analytical solution (solid lines) on the cell-PCM and PCM-ECM interfaces for: (a) plane stress, (b) plane strain, (c) confined compression, and (d) unconfined compression.
