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.

From the Publisher
Provides a unified and systematic continuum approach for engineers and applied physicists working on the modelling of deformable porous media. The concepts and results are given within a single theoretical framework: the mechanics of continuous media. Self-contained, it sets from a macroscopic point of view the main concepts and results of deformable porous media subject to the flow of one or several fluids.

A Must for Poromechanicians,
By John Williams "Will" (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mechanics of Porous Continua (Hardcover)
This is the only book that I have seen so far treating the mechanics and thermodynamics of porous media from a systematic continuum approach. Coussy's way of treating the porous media as a open continua, and its casting in the Lagragian form allows a rigorious treatment of poroelastoplasticity problem becomes possible. A little flaw in this book is that the author did not define properly the symbols that he is using making reading the text rather difficult. This is a common problems among the mathematician and physicists, use any kind of symbols that fly thro their mind. Despite this little problem, it is still a collectors' piece.
