Poromechanics (Repost)

Modelling and predicting how porous media deform when subjected toexternal actions and physical phenomena, including the effect ofsaturating fluids, are of importance to the understanding ofgeophysics and civil engineering (including soil and rock mechanicsand petroleum engineering), as well as in newer areas such asbiomechanics and agricultural engineering.
Starting from the highly successful First Edition, Coussy hascompletely re-written Mechanics of PorousContinua/Poromechanics to include:
- New material for:
- Partially saturated porous media
- Reactive porous media
- Macroscopic electrical effects
- A single theoretical framework to the subject to explain theinterdisciplinary nature of the subject
- Exercises at the end of each chapter to aid understanding
The unified approach taken by this text makes it a valuableaddition to the bookshelf of every PhD student and researcher incivil engineering, petroleum engineering, geophysics, biomechanicsand material science.
