Continuum and Numerical Simulation of Porous Materials in Science and Technology

  • Chapter

Abstract

Continuum mechanics of porous materials touches all kinds of problems arising from the necessity to successfully describe the behaviour of geomaterials such as saturated, partially saturated or empty porous solids. Geomaterials as well as further porous media like concrete, sinter materials, polymeric and metallic foams, living tissues, etc., basically fall into the category of multiphasic materials, which can be described within the framework of a macroscopic continuum mechanical approach by use of the well-founded theory of porous media (TPM).
