In this paper, we model the initial contraction of a circular gel by assuming a homogeneous, axisymmetric finite deformation while allowing possible radial variations in material properties, including material symmetry.

The sedimentation time as calculated by the model shown in Table 1 in all cases is found to be well within the initial contraction time ∼105 years (e.g. Donnison and Williams, 1974; Boss, 1998b; Helled et al., 2008; Nayakshin, 2010).
