Ženíšek, Alexander The existence and uniqueness theorem in Biot’s consolidation theory. (English) Zbl 0557.35005 Apl. Mat. 29, 194-211 (1984). Summary: Existence and uniqueness is established for a variational problem including Biot’s model of consolidation of clay. The proof of existence is constructive and uses the compactness method. Error estimates for the approximate solution obtained by a method combining finite elements and Euler’s backward method are given.
