Quatrième de couverture :
This book provides a unified and systematic continuum approach for engineers and applied physicists working on the modelling of porous media. Self–contained, it sets out from a macroscopic point of view the main concepts and results of deformable porous media subject to the flow of one or several fluids. The theory presented includes developments in the areas of thermodynamics, poroelastoplasticity, poroviscoplasticity, wave propagation and surfaces of discontinuity, boundary value problems and numerical methods, as well as chemico–mechanical couplings. It can be used for numerous diversified applications in geophysics, civil engineering, biomechanics, material science, etc.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Mechanics of porous continua is relevant to many fields and engineering applications of major economic importance: geophysics (including soil and rock mechanics), biomechanics, material science. "Mechanics of porous continua" means the modeling and the prediction of how porous media deform, when subjected to various physical phenomena and external actions. This book sets the main concepts and results of deformable porous media subject to the flow of one or several fluids.
