Modelling and predicting how porous media deform when subjected to
external actions and physical phenomena, including the effect of
saturating fluids, are of importance to the understanding of
geophysics and civil engineering (including soil and rock mechanics
and petroleum engineering), as well as in newer areas such as
biomechanics and agricultural engineering.
Starting from the highly successful First Edition, Coussy has completely re-written Mechanics of Porous Continua/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 the interdisciplinary nature of the subject
- Exercises at the end of each chapter to aid understanding
The unified approach taken by this text makes it a valuable addition to the bookshelf of every PhD student and researcher in civil engineering, petroleum engineering, geophysics, biomechanics and material science.
