In order to obtain the physical properties of the filter cake, a Compression–Permeability Cell (C–P Cell) can be used to examine the constitutive relationships among the solid compressive stresses, porosity and the specific filtration resistance. In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed to study the transient distribution of stresses, strains and void ratios in the confined cake of a C–P Cell under constant axial loads for dewatering. Simulations have been carried out using a plasticity model and the sensitivity analysis has revealed the possible contribution a finite plasticity can bring about the two types of cake examples with either medium or high compressibility.application/pdf745786 bytesapplication/pdfen-USCakeConsolidationC–P CellPlastic deformation[SDGs]SDG11journal article10.1016/S0021-9797(02)00214-Xhttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/2006111501275352/1/7081.pdf
