Mechanics of Poroelastic Media
Search in google:
In Mechanics of Poroelastic Media the classical theory of poroelasticity developed by Biot is developed and extended to the study of problems in geomechanics, biomechanics, environmental mechanics and materials science. The contributions are grouped into sections covering constitutive modelling, analytical aspects, numerical modelling, and applications to problems. The applications of the classical theory of poroelasticity to a wider class of problems will be of particular interest. The text is a standard reference for researchers interested in developing mathematical models of poroelasticity in geoenvironmental mechanics, and in the application of advanced theories of poroelastic biomaterials to the mechanics of biomaterials. Booknews Twenty-one papers develop the Biot theory of poroelasticity and extending it to the study of problems in geomechanics, biomechanics, environmental mechanics, and materials science. The contributions cover: constitutive modelling, analytical aspects, numerical modelling, and applications. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
